Lately I’ve been digging on Twitter more and more.

I do still read Facebook due to the private group I co-own on there, and the usual time wasting reasons.

But, mostly, I’m spending more time on Twitter.

For one, there’s less grandstanding and mindless complaining. It’s also far more entertaining (even better than TV). And, there’s less of a herd-think going on there than on Twitter.

Less of everyone all using the same herd-think phrases, for example.

(“just sayin'”, “that is all”, “said no one ever”, etc etc).

It’s like Flakebookers don’t think because they don’t have to.

Not so much on Twitter.

At least, not with the people I follow.

(Which is very few, admittedly, I mostly just like to follow thought leaders and movement-builders — even, sometimes, people I disagree with, you can learn a lot about audience building following the right kind of people on Twitter).

More:

Twitter is also practical for writers.

(Of any kind.)

After all, it forces you to be a pithy writer.

And some of the best writing “exercise” you can do is boil down a message into 140 characters or less.

Anyway, that’s it for now.
