It is what you make of it. It can be a way to keep up with professional contacts. You can network with friends and family. You can get updates from companies on new products. Hell, even Shaq is on twitter talking about his NBA Finals picks :lol: The twitter developers are implementing a solution to verify identites too. ---

Thats how I feel :tup: I guess its just another nice link for market outreach business wise… but for personal reasons, I say GO OUTSIDE and enjoy what you’re doing, rather than focusing on letting everyone else know what you’re doing.
