If you are not following @jhagel in twitter, you are missing out on one of the primary pleasures of connected consumption.
I learn a lot from the links he shares in twitter. I got introduced to the fascinating world of sand animation, through @jhagel. ... and to Richard Florida and many many.
@jhagel's twitter popularity is nowhere close to @guykawasaki. @guykawasaki is sure to provide you with twitter streams with guaranteed regularity and topics that are very helpful, hot and happening and some practical information that you would appreciate for its timeliness.
Yet, @guykawasaki is no match to @jhagel in terms of the richness of content. I think there are two kinds of curators, i.e., the generalists and the passionates.
The generalists know their audience and provide content, following the Keynesian beauty contest doctrine. The passionate curators are those who "cherry-pick" the content that they consume and delights their followers in a profound way.
The hard part is identifying the second kind, i.e., the passionates and building systems, that help users discover those passionate curators that resonate perfectly with them.
Well, I am honored and flattered. Glad to see that my passion shines through - it drives everything that I do.
ReplyDeleteWell,this came about while I was talking to my buddy over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHe has this opinion that, twitter exists for celebrities to tell the world in which coffee house they are currently in or guys who want to sell stuff and the signal to noise ratio is pretty bad.
He goes on, "Why would I need to follow some guy? I would rather go to google news. Moreover, I don't need so much information".
I go, "You need to follow the right folks in twitter." He goes "For example..."
The first name which popped on my head was @jhagel and the least I expected was that you would read this post and comment on it.
What a pleasant surprise? The Mojo of the Connected Intelligence!! Thanks for visiting my home, John.
