Some Good Uses of Twitter

Skye Jethani continues part two of his post about giving Twitter a try for thirty days.  He was initially very skeptical as to it's good purposes but in today's post he outlines what he thinks are some good ways to go about tweeting.

His conclusion:

So, what’s my final verdict about Twitter? Will I keep tweeting? I think so, but not a lot. It has its uses, but it’s not my preferred use of time or energy. While I stand by my original critiques of Twitter, I’ve come to realize it can be used well if used thoughtfully and I’m looking to “follow” people on Twitter who model such care.

Is Twitter evil? Of course not. But it does temp many of us to an unhealthy and ungodly form of social digital narcissism. But that’s not really Twitter’s problem…it’s our problem that Twitter merely uncovers. I’m reminded of that scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Luke Skywalker sees a mysterious cave strong with the Dark Side of the Force. “What’s in there?” he asks. Yoda replies, “Only what you take with you.” So it is with Twitter.
