✳️ 🐦 value:noise (v:n) was 1:10, now ~ 1:30; great stuff is here but it's diluted. It's like a crossword puzzle
✳️ 🐘 v:n ? Lots of good stuff, less GREAT stuff. Like a crossword puzzle that's all words but u only care about some
✳️ 500 characters is too many
✳️ 🐦 has a TON of advertisements
✳️ 🐘 may improve if more people migrate
✳️ 🐦 having a content algorithm was (is?) probably SUPER useful; will this be eroded? Is having any algorithm better than none (🐘 = the latter)
✳️ If I was just getting started w/ a platform would choose 🐘 > 🐦; @ this point 🐦 probably more valuable (agree w/ @PaulSaxMD point #5 in this great post: blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observa…)
For me, 🐦 is most valuable when used tactically/intentionally.
For several years (after reading this book: calnewport.com/books/digital-…) have tried to limit use to only 5 minutes twice a day (often failing)
Tactical use now given the ⬆️ed noise:value ratio prob more important

Hi #MedTwitter!!! I was excited to be involved w/ the #SHEASpring2021 pre-conference workshop that included an eval of the professional use of #twitter. Here are my notes from the session, sharing in case useful; my focus is on providing helpful tips to new(er) users (🧵):
✅ Always be mindful of your reason for using #twitter; keep use +, professional, consider focusing on only a few topical areas important to you. Consider limiting use to only a few times/day and limit total time spent in app (can go down a 🐇 hole)
✅ Connecting w/ others during conferences HUGELY valuable & a good way to grow your network
✅ Engage w/ others; don’t just put out content, respond to others’ posts (great way to build network). Don’t forget to use the conference #!
