I've become increasingly fascinated with social media to improve on traditional ways of preparing for and predicting the future.

My only worry about tweeting and modern technology is how it has crept into even the darkest corners of the absolute global village we live in.

I only tweet if I discover something that's fantastic, or if I heard something really great.

Twitter has always been that refreshing place where I can quickly find out what is going on in my tech world. I follow mostly entrepreneurs and VCs - some who I know and some who I don't know. I have a few companies in my feed. But no newspapers, no magazines, and no mainstream media.

Twitter has been my life's work in many senses. It started with a fascination with cities and how they work, and what's going on in them right now.

I'm sort of awkward with technology, and I think I'm the type of guy who would have something cool happen to him, and it would take, like, five days to figure out how to tweet it.

Twitter is incredibly useful. It's a great example of how the Internet is changing the way we engage with information and text. Above all else, this change in the nature of engagement is fascinating for me as a writer.

The thing I really like about Twitter is the speed with which information reaches me. You find out things from Twitter long before they're on the news. That, I think, is valuable.
