We are fusing with the media we use.
In the words of Marshall McLuhan, the Medium is the message. amzn.to/2XHIuWy
We have to change how we think and communicate for each new medium.

⚫️ Twitter is not broadcasting.
⚫️ It's a special kind of one-to-one and one-to-many conversation.
⚫️ We should tailor our messages accordingly.

What is the paradox of abundance in social media?
🔵 In an era of abundance, the best get better.
🔵 But the median gets worse.

I need to be deliberate about my consumption of social media.
That means:
- Pick and choose what I read very carefully.
- Don't use twitter's recommendations.
- Aggressively unfollow or block people with unwholesome content.

I should also contribute deliberately.
- Only create content that enhances peoples lives and which is enriching or enlightening and contributes to learning. That helps people develop their knowledge and wisdom.

If I don't have anything useful to say, I should shut up.
Nobody cares what I had for lunch, or what great thing I just did.
What they are about is what's in it for them.
If there is nothing in it for them, just shut up.

I should feel free to use a test account, or to tweet under a pseudonym in order to get the tone right.

Hashtags are like shouting.
No tweet has gone viral because of hashtags.
No more than two clickable links per tweet.
The best writing on twitter puts into words what people felt, but had not yet been able to articulate.
Twitter is not good for political debates.
I should simply not get involved in debates and politics on twitter - it tends to enhance divisiveness and extremism.

Linkedin vs Twitter:
LinkedIn = Businessman in a suit with a business card.
Twitter = The same man at the bar, over a beer chatting.
If that man is, say Jamie Dimon, where and how would you prefer to meet him?
