One of the refreshingly inspiring panels that I attended at SXSWi this year was about people who engage in “Slow Twitter.” These people take their time to craft most of their tweets for maximum entertainment value. Most of the time, I count myself as one of those people.
If you see someone who works toward making Twitter a better place, use the “favorite” feature in your Twitter tool of choice. By clicking that star, you give those tweets (and those tweeters) exposure on sites like tweeteorites.com and favstar.fm. More exposure for them means more people get to enjoy their hard work. And that just might also mean a few less inane tweets about lunch plans in your Twitter stream.
Special thanks to @digitalMofoTomD, @mjstocksdale and @average_jane for giving up 30 seconds of their day to help me with this idea.
the ROCKS GLASS is one of those fancy-schmancy Tumblr sites that happens to be curated by Kansas City-based creative generalist Jeremy Fuksa.
“Creative generalist” sounds like an aggrandized term. It is. But, it rolls off the tongue much easier than Designer, Developer, Writer, Broadcaster, Filmmaker, Speaker, Musician, Photographer and Attention Whore. Plus, it looks way cooler on a business card.
