I always thought, *“I don’t have the time to sit on Twitter all day and read every single thing someone has to say in under 140 characters.”*But then…I became a believer. I know there just isn’t enough time in the day to do everything we need (and want) to do. However, I have found some great articles and information from Twitter. The best part is that it’s all in one place. It’s a real time saver. I take a few moments sporadically throughout the day to see what new pieces of information I can find. Think of it like a treasure hunt. So who should you follow when you join?
