Moderation in all things. If you're picky about who you follow on Twitter,
you learn some interesting things...and a lot faster than you would
otherwise. For instance: I'm a big fan of Cyanogen, who writes the custom
ROM for Android phones. When he has a new update, I usually learn about it
first on Twitter.  I follow New Scientist too, just because it's a great
magazine.
