I’ve actually been on Twitter since 2007, but really haven’t had much use for it. I was connected to a few friends, but wasn’t tweeting much useful or seeing many useful tweets.
Recently I added a few data science folks, and began slowly expanding my follows. Now I’m getting a lot of interesting links, even hitting Tweetbot multiple times in a day. Props to Ben Lorica, @bigdata, Jimmy Lin, @lintool and Joe Hellerstein, @joe_hellerstein for bringing the good bits. Hilary Mason @hmason and Andy Hickl @andyhickl provide a little personality and I’ve got an emerging cluster of Python folks including David Beazley, @dabeaz, Wes McKinney, @wesmckinn, and Adam Klein, @atomklein.
