    Really grateful for Twitter. Seeing the tweets flow by feels like access to some great super-genius for the ages. (Quite serious.)

        @ahandvanish It took me uite a while to figure out, perhaps because it's multi-purpose, & has many failure modes (e.g., argument).

        @michael_nielsen How do you filter for the signal genius from the noise on your twitter feed?

        @iamwil By gradually winnowing the feed, and by using lists.

        Twitter is one the most underrated and most frequently misunderstood companies

        Yes. "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters"; I think Twitter (and similar connecting technology) is much better than flying cars :-)

        I’m new to Twitter, and your tweets on how to use it - found through @tylercowen - have been really helpful. Thanks for being an anti-rebel “with the childish gall actually to endorse and insatiate single-entendre principals”. I appreciate sincerity.

        Haven't thought about it. I do like my "tomorrow" list https://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/lists/tomorrow …, though I'm not very systematic about maintaining it, i.e., it's only sorta an answer to your question.
