I have been active on the social network site Twitter for only several months but due to the nature of the people I am following I have an outlet for hundreds of quality links that are relevant and up to date on everything that interest me. I must admit though that my time on twitter is intense; it is a powerful place that I give myself time to go there because I will be turned on to something cool, and I'll want to explore something that I did not know before.

That is what twitter does for me, it takes me to something that I did not know before. The amount of links that comes through twitter feels intense, akin to shutting your eyes and looking at the sun come through trees as you pass by in a car, or like the little light on a desktop that blinks schizophrenically as info is processed through your PC; it can be intense. It's worth it, but beware, manage your time well because there is a lot to learn there; and it would suck to end up in a twitter twelve step.
