So that's the basic idea. Now, why don't *I* run this kind of program? In short: I'm bad at facilitating community. I could probably make a decent stab at it, but it would take me a lot of emotional energy that I just don't have these days. But I do think it's a great idea!
Anyway, thanks for letting me get that off my mind. LMK if you've heard of anyone doing something similar! I'd be curious to hear how it went. And please share any riffs on this idea and/or positive suggestions for improvement.
Seems like people think this could be useful for existing users as well.
I like @bracht’s description of it, as helping people move from bad Twitter neighborhoods to good oneshttps://twitter.com/bracht/status/1147578017360830467?s=21 …
Interesting idea! Would’ve loved for you to help me get into twitter 
This doesn’t seem like something you’d monetize — curious what kept you back from open sourcing this earlier?
Yeah no monetization... mostly just vanity :P. When I do new things, I like to just release them into the world, rather than talking about them first.
Neat idea; I've thought about how useful a lightweight "program" / cohort construct would be in some other domains (e.g., the basics of online finance; simple ways to tune your media intake)
“cohort” is a great word for one of the big pillars of value here
This is awesome. I think @TheAnnaGat is onto something like this with the @whatstheii. I think people like @visakanv and @webdevMason have been really great at creating this sub community space on Twitter where similar people with overlapping interests have been connecting.
those people *are* really good at community! and yeah, it seems like whatstheii is trying to do something like this, not specifically tied to Twitter per se, but for onboarding people to a more abstract kind of intellectual community. (Is that an accurate description?)
Great idea with a lot of merit. I’ve benefitted immensely from @twitter in the last decade and even today all my news and most intellectual conversations come from here. I’d be pretty interested to see how it pans out. Any way to help?
What approaches do you use (or did you use early on) that made Twitter good for you? What advice would you give to newcomers?
I do this internally at @NovaSemitaHQ : we have a guide and a list of people to follow. I'll probably open source it soon :)
To drive engagement on twitter I push my students to write tweetstorms using podcasts/talks at Google. Ex. A like from famous people like @naval and @wolfejosh created a very strong reinforcement. Here is what the on board looks like @usha_06 .
