Syl On Twitter – Three Weeks Ended Jan. 10, 2010

By Syl Arena on January 11, 2010 – 6:30 amNo Comment

Syl_Arena_Twitter_Collage

A lot of people wonder about the value of Twitter. I don’t blame them. I’m not one who wants to learn about every minutia of someone’s life via the machine-gunning of Tweets.

For me, Twitter continues to be a great way for me to share links and resources about photography. As you can see, that’s about all I use it for. Occasionally, I’ll send a quick howdy or a jab out to a friend. The bit.ly links listed below will lead you to the article or site that I’m Tweeting. The @name will take you to that person’s Twitter page.

If you’d like to follow me on Twitter (or learn more about Twitter), click here.

Given that I did not publish a synopsis over the holidays, here’s a listing of my Tweets along with a few Tweets that mention me from the past three weeks.
