Every now and then I discover something that is so captivating, that I have to stop what I’m working on to share it with everyone I know. This is one of them.
For those veterans who continue to define Twitter’s role in how we communicate, share and learn, those who have recently made its acquaintance, and those just finding their stride, we all linked through common threads and context that pique our curiosity, stimulate our quest for adventure, expand our networks beyond our real world network, and feed our desire for attention.
