Twitter usage

Washington Post article on the best usage of Twitter, apart from following celebrities: "Twitter can actually be a fun, informative, and even practical tool--provided you follow the right people. I do care what famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) has to say, because it's usually interesting and educational. So he's among the select few Twitter users I follow.

As the coach of my daughter's soccer team, I need a quick and easy way to contact all the parents in case of scheduling changes, rained-out games, and the like. By getting everyone to "follow" me (and receive my tweets via text message), it's a snap to communicate with the group."


Or would you rather follow beautiful Doutzen Kroes using her BlackBerry to tweet: "I'm witnessing a beautiful sunrise here in Tuscany!!"
