  1. I'm going to be a bit of a downer here and say that for me Twitter has often been a disappointment. Too often it's an echo chamber of those who agree with me, largely due to the fact that we choose to follow like-minded people (whether implicit or explicit). For me, I've been challenged more by blogs and by Skype conversations I've had with people.

    All depends who you are following and who you are engaging with. I often seek out folks who I have pretty fundamental disagreements with. Keeps me on my toes. Keeps me sharp.
