Read on Twitter
I started using Twitter in 2008 to find a job in startups in SF
I had little money and was desperate to find a way to America
Instead I found something else…

My voice
I found my writing voice on Twitter
Twitter is the best writing class you can take
If you can write well for Twitter, you can write well anywhere
And if you can write well on the internet, luck is in your favor

Friends
Some of my best friends I’ve made on airplanes or on Twitter
You are the average of the five people you tweet the most with
If you tweet, you’ll attract “your people”

Education
Twitter is a firehose of knowledge
I learned about the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2009
I learned about Instagram the day it launched in 2010
I learned about Steve’s Jobs’ death in 2011 :(
Point: if you want to learn about things early, Twitter is where you want to be

Teammates
Most of my teammates I met on Twitter
People just cold DMed me or I cold DMed them
- You are one Twitter DM away from your dream job
- You are one Twitter DM away from your dream hire

Positivity
Yes, there’s a ton of bad vibes on Twitter. It sure makes me cringe
But, I think there is way more good vibes than bad
People are sharing what’s on their mind. Their struggles, their wins, their shower thoughts
It’s 95% beautiful vibes, 5% troll vibes

Encouragement
Startup life is tough
You’d be surprised how much random words of encouragement matter
Ex:
“I love your product”
“Your blog post really changed how I think”
Encouragement is fuel for the motivation tank

Twitter is the fast-track to being known and trusted
