I think it depends on how and why you use social media. For me, having picked Twitter back up recently after having been mostly dormant for the past 4 years or so, it is about inspiration.
The next thing for me is to create a startup. I am immersing myself back in to the heartbeat / pulse of what's going on and thinking about how my ideas intersect with this.
There are a lot of inspiring projects I am following lately, specifically around devtools, platforms, etc. that almost exclusively exist on these mediums.
- harryvederci 4y agoIf twitter works for you then that's great, but if[0] you're purely seeking inspiration for creating a startup, you could consider listening to podcasts like Indie Hackers instead. It's probably way less of an attention black hole, but still inspirational. [0] I can't tell from your comment if that's the sole purpose. If not: never mind.
- nickstinemates 4y agoAppreciate the podcast suggestion. It's more about immersion than it is one specific thing. In addition to the social media angle, I am hopeful tech meetups come back in earnest in San Francisco at different startups; this is the melting pot of ideas and innovation and they're so much fun.
