Rediscovering Twitter

I’ve been on Twitter for a while now, but I haven’t really taken it seriously. I figured that no one cares what I have to say, so why bother. Plus, it is hard for me to say anything in such a short amount of characters. :)

I hear that the best way to get followers is to ask questions and be controversial, but that somewhat hard for me considering that there are so few people in my field on Twitter. I would like to use it for more industry-related things, but all the “experts” in the I/O field are either not that interested in new/emerging technologies or don’t really need to use it to get things done.

I would like to move from a strictly I/O area of interest to the application of I/O ideas to entrepreneurship and software development. There seem to be a lot more of those types on Twitter, so I’m learning new things there. It is hard to search for these people though, so I’m just going by my connection’s connections at this point.

I don’t think I’ve learned exactly the right way to utilize the network yet, so if people have tips on what they did, I’d love to hear them.
