My 3 Years On Twitter

By Bernard Goldbach, aka @topgold:
Bernie’s been using Twitter three years now and he wrote a good and succinct post about his thoughts on the experience.
During the past three years, Twitter has been most helpful in curating content for me. I use mobile phone RSS feeds to pull information from 12 Twitter accounts onto the screen of my phone where they’re often as informative as news headlines. I’ve learned that even when some people stop tweeting, they continue marking content as “favorites” and those favs are part of the genre of curated content.
I have discovered ways to boost blog readership, to increase the number of views of a Flickr image and to attract viewers to my movie clips by posting summaries of that kind of content on Twitter. I’ve also seen a bothersome rise of self-promotion, petulance and pettiness on Twitter. Like in the real world, packs of little minds run around on Twitter but the wonderful thing about Twitter is that you can just unfollow the pettiness with a single click.
