<div dir="ltr"><div>Actually, the benefits I've received from Twitter is way beyond other social networks like LinkedIn, FaceBook, MySpace :-) You don't want to subscribve to people that only posts crap, and when you post, you need to be aware of your "listeners". Make it worth their time visiting the site and watching your updates, and there's no point telling everyone, every details about your life.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Started reading two new books, and a friend commented on my message that one of them was actually written by his boss! So now I'm actually giving feedback to the author through him, and it's another element that enforces the friends me and he has.</div>

<div>Twitter is useful for snapping up interesting information, it's very un-organized but it's a good place to find inspiration. It's complete opposite of FaceBook, where you have groups and more closely related friends, and the topic/subjects rarely go beyond the normal trend.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So yes, I do twitter, and yes, I do find it useless, but there is nothing we have more of, than time to waste: <a href="http://twitter.com/SondreB">http://twitter.com/SondreB</a></div>

<div>My 5 cents :-)</div>
