For so long I wondered if I was missing out on something in not having a Twitter account. People always said it was a good source for up-to-date news.
I opened an account but never used it until FB banned me twice for posting about the Kashmiri activist murdered by Indian soldiers on July 8th whose name & photo cannot be posted on FB though his funeral was attended by 600,000 people.
It is indeed an extremely useful source for information. But it is also a mine field of bickering, bullying, narcissistic snits that go on interminably. You have be disciplined in using it or you can get pulled into that crap & it will eat up your creative energies. You may even begin to think pissing contests are political debates.
