I occasionally blog about Twitter, sometimes about its potential benefits as a tool for healthcare interventions, (see my recent post Twitter As A Proxy Metric For Institutional Digital Trust), sometimes as an emotional tool (see my post Tweeting To Destroy), and sometimes as a career risk (see my post The Dangerous Anatomy Of A Viral Retweet ).
(Here are all of 47+ of my Twitter posts.)
But let me make this very clear.
There is a mean-spiritedness on Twitter. It often brings out the worst in people—their pettiness, their gossip, their anger, and their hate—and because of these things, I believe Twitter’s greatest risk is spiritual.
So I try my best to be spiritually intentional on Twitter, and if I sense I am being sucked into a negative vortex, I get the heck out.
Good luck!
