I hated the idea of twitter for a long time because I thought it was the shitty part of facebook (incessant updates from people whom I don&#x27;t care about) x 10, because it&#x27;s just a feed.<p>But since I started really getting into it last year, I&#x27;ve become so much more knowledgeable by following the best entrepreneurs, VCs, anyone with interesting insight. It&#x27;s a surprisingly pure channel of news&#x2F;knowledge if you use it correctly and not go on a follow spree.<p>It&#x27;s definitely not the place for social networking as far as communicating with friends&#x2F;family goes.
