Poll: Do you use Twitter?

How many here have a twitter account and either actively use it or just browse your favorite tweeters? Just curious. Add why or why not in comments, if you would like.

And if you would like to share who you follow that would be interesting too.

I follow Reuters, Jim Acosta, Aaron Rupar, Andy Lassner, Jeff Tiedrich, Womensart, Ben Rhodes, Jeff Mason, Katie Porter, Richard Engel, Anna Navarro, Susan Glasser, Conan O'Brien, to name a few.

I didn't use Twitter at first but once I started following certain sites and people I find it a great place to find breaking news stories.

1. I don't have twitter, but I do bookmark twitter pages for couple of dozen journalists, legal experts

and others. I check the postings of about a half dozen regularly.

That said, I have no intention of registering on twitter--

I don't have the same level of animosity toward twitter as I do facebook, though. The latter is a menace, IMO.

but don't use it.
I don't think that's an option in the poll.

I used to follow Gollum J. Trump

13. Occasionally I will respond to someone else's post, but I never initiate anything on Twitter.

That's why despite having an account for 11 years, I have fewer than 25 posts on Twitter.

14. Twitter yes, although I am not prolific at all, mainly just browse, and FB can go fuck itself
