(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:
