The Life of a Silicon Valley Rockstar

 So what’s this twitter thing? That’s not the best question. A better one is, how do I use it? Twitter’s a great tool for keeping in near real-time contact with friends. Great for ad-hoc communication with all of your contacts and like most social networks great for meeting new people and learning new ideas. Did I just say “learning”? Yeah, I did. Most of us would agree, I think, that the most valuable thing we’d learned coming out of school was how to digest and interpret new ideas. Whether this means working as a team to come up with a solution or more independent thought there’s nothing more valuable than sharing those ideas with others and being open to ideas from others.

By the very nature of Twitter, you follow people (celebrities excluded) who either have similiar interests to you or where you are interested in their thoughts. The potential for “great” or at least thought-provoking ideas is very high. That’s why I love Twitter. I’m exposed to thoughts and ideas I’d otherwise have no access to. Why do you love/hate twitter?
