Most of my non-realtime-media friends shake their heads. “too short!” “Not interested in other peoples eating habits!” …they say. I say “I JUST LOVE IT” Why? Let me give you a few reasons:
1. It’s a great source of information.Where I don’t get any further with Google Search – I turn to my followers on Twitter. In general – I have the answer on almost ANY subject – I’ve tried questions on subject as distant as stem cell research with Alzheimer to where I can find iPad retailers carrying the latest model. Great, knowledgeable peole. Thanks!
2. Altruism – The willingness to help others has almost no limits! I have several stories on what people have gone to to serve others. Thank you for that as well!
3. Thinking outside of the box – When it comes to ideas generating – Twitter has few competitors! The crowd effect is tremendous! Thank you for all great co-operation!
4. Brain development – It’s been claimed out of our thoughts, about 95 percent of our thoughts are the same as yesterday. Well, not if you spread your following to people who are not like you. The variety of subjects, people, moods and even timezones and local culture is an EXCELLENT opportunity for our brains to stay healthy and our perceptional filters more flexible than ever. Thanks for training my brain!
5. Making new friends – How many new friends have I made since Twitter was launched? Hundreds? Maybe! I know for certain what that means when you’re the new guy in town. My visit to San Francisco was such a great experience, thanks to meeting people like @ChrisHeuer , @gauravkishore and a lot more people at the #TIECON in Santa Clara and #SFMUSTEC in San Francisco. Hey you all – thanks for being such great and supportive friends! Do come visit Stockholm soon!
Well, of course there’s more.Let me know what you love about Twitter!
