> It really is an incredible public utility provided you liberally mute/bloctk/unfollow all the petty fighting and find good people. How do you find good people on Twitter? My interests are esoteric and as far as I can tell not represented on Twitter. I've read people assert that most every interest is covered on Twitter, but that's not even close to true as far as I can tell. https://ruben.verborgh.org/blog/2012/10/25/social-media-as-spotlight-on-your-research/ https://ruben.verborgh.org/blog/2012/10/25/social-media-as-s... > virtually every topic is covered. The connection between butterfly wings and sea snails? Check. The latest trends in space law? Check. In fact, every niche has its Tweeters because of the long tail effect. And if you’re researching something really rare and unique, well, congrat­ulations—you get to be a pioneer as a first online news source on your topic! I don't see a reason to be a "pioneer" on someone else's platform (with character limits, etc.) when I think publishing a website on my interests would better reach people with the same interests.
