The things I learn from Twitter

21 November 2011

My three-year anniversary was on November 12. Two years ago I blogged about why I love Twitter and those reasons still stand.

One of the main things I love about Twitter, besides it being an easy way to communicate with others using @ replies, is that I learn things via Twitter that I wouldn’t have otherwise learned.

Take for example, this fun, instructional video on 25 ways to tie a scarf, which I learned about via Brandie Kajino (@bkajino), a wonderful professional organizer, one of many I follow on Twitter.

How fabulous is that? I favorited her tweet on Twitter so I’ll be able to find it next time I want some scarf tying inspiration.

I sometimes learn about breaking news on Twitter. Sometimes I read funny things from celebrities. Sometimes I just see what my friends are up to (or ranting about).

I know some people consider Twitter a time suck, but it doesn’t work that way for me. I dip in, learn what I can, laugh a little, try to share a little, and dip back out.

If you’re on Twitter and not already following me, please consider it! You can find me at www.twitter.com/janinea.
