The Joy of Being An Information Broker

There is not a day that goes by where I marvel at the whole Twitter hootenanny. Check the ticker, come across an article or some clever humor, read it, retweet it . Repeat.

I came to a realization a while back sifting through my Firefox bookmarks... Am I really putting all those great articles and advice that I come across through tweets and stumbles to great use?

Johnny — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:05:16 +0000

I’ve been using Twitter over the last nine months or so. Now, I may not exactly be deemed “popular” by follower standards but I’ve used it enough to know what makes a good user experience, not just for yourself, but for your followers too. There are, of course, rules to live by when using Twitter [...]
