Title: How are you using twitter?
Post by: chrisj on June 19, 2010, 02:26:18 PM
I currently have 2 accounts, rattis and rattis_sec. I was using rattis_sec to follow infosec and rattis for everything else, but I've been thinking of combining them lately and using lists.

I'm curious how everyone else is using twitter.

I use it to follow infosec people and I do have some friends on it. There are people who tweet about security news, new tools that come out, exploits, etc..

I'm currently following a selected group of accounts and they are enough to keep me up-to-date. If something BIG happens outside of these accounts then it's almost always conveyed via RTs. I also follow some lists

Security:

http://twitter.com/latenitecoder/security
http://twitter.com/sans_isc/handlers

Tech:

These along with Google Reader and mailing lists is about enough to satiate my appetite.

Yes, its not so bad, lists are useful.

Just for following infosec news. I really don't care what my friends are doing every second (if fact, I'd rather often not know).

I've amassed a pretty good selection of people to follow. I'm sure I'm missing some, and I know I need to weed out some that post mostly fluff, but it's a decent start: www.twitter.com/infosiege

That brings up part of the heart of the question. I follow lots of different things in real life. Martial Arts, exercise with kettlebells, infosec, and a few other geek like things. So I figured breaking up into different accounts would keep the "fluff" down.

I'm still working on the lists. one thing I noted, My doesn't always catch the Re-tweets.
