I've still never encountered a single person who posts to twitter except as part of their job or to promote themselves or one of their projects. Supposedly these people exist in their millions but I've no idea where they're hiding. Are they mostly schoolchildren?
- Nav_Panel 10y agoI think they are mostly young adults (age groups 13-35 seems most common) and it's mostly loose networks based around geography and education. So, they sort of lie on top of existing real world networks. If you don't have an "in" to Twitter from a friend in real life, you'll find it hard to locate a Twitter network. But once you're in, you can pretty easily seek out new people to interact with, and you can grow your little network and make friends and share cultural capital or whatever.
- unfunco 10y agoI do (I won't post a link because this isn't self advertising, but my username is the same as it is here) – I work for a software company, I have my own company too (but I'm a procrastinator) – Twitter for me is to opine on political news or news I'm otherwise interested in (chemistry, psychedelics, etc) – none of which have anything to do with my job (and my employer would likely frown upon it too.)
