(1) Accelerated learning through contact with professionals via Twitter; (2) replacement of traditional brick and mortar academia with Twitter (3) close observation, active listening, and the occasional risk of sycophantic tweeting to 'working celebrities'; (4) use of Twitter to hone skills, polish aesthetics, and refine workflows by following experts in the real
world (5) the hope that Twitter
may disseminate concise enlightened perspectives more rapidly than formal
education.
(1) Through Twitterversity I have learned more by following a handful of notable persons in my field -- for
free -- than through years of formal training; (2) Twitterversity allowed me to change careers mid-life by contacting working professionals able to answer questions more effectively than any single teacher I could otherwise access; (3) Self-directed study at a Twitterversity I compiled of persons whose work I admire allowed me to
jump ahead of my peers languishing at parochial academia.
Examples of Twitterversity tweets:
