> I doubt many hackers use twitter. It's for self promotion mainly, or consuming that promotion (Being a fan). Something I don't think most hackers are interested in. From the outside, I'm sure it looks that way. Twitter is definitely for self promotion if you're a musician or other celebrity. If you're someone who builds things, though, Twitter is an always-on chat with other people who build things. If you want it to be. I've learned a lot from the many developers I follow on Twitter. Heck, my current day job is something I found through a relationship that began on Twitter. It's what you make of it, but a boatload of truly productive people use Twitter to share information every day.
