Thanks for your comment. It's hard to say how much time I spend on Twitter, except that I do it pretty much every day. For me, the easiest way to manage my Twitter account is on my Blackberry using UberTwitter. It allows me to scroll through tweets quickly. And, even if I am behind, I can post a new Tweet. Often times, I find myself following a group of people or a trend more carefully. For example, when I went to the Business Innovation Factory in September, I followed the event closely by using its hashtag (#BIF6). Or, if I am meeting someone, I will check out his or her Twitter stream leading up to seeing them. I have also tried to grow my Twitter community slowly. I try to follow people who are truly relevant to my interests and/or who I have personally engaged with. And, I pay attention to who follows me. If someone follows me but has nothing to do with my professional life or personal interests, I sometimes block them – again, just to help ensure a meaningful community. Thanks again for reading my post and for commenting! I appreciate it! Happy tweeting! Hello, Laurent! Thanks for your comment.

Simple and genuine. I'm still a beginner in Twitter (@LaurentiusMag) and I totally share your slow learning approach. One question though : how much time do you really spend on Twitter and do you have tips for a good efficiency in it (without losing the serendipity effect) ? Best, Laurent Great post Angela.
