As you can see on my Twitter profile, I’ve been on Twitter since 2007. However, I didn’t gain a lot of value from the platform in the beginning, and was kind of posting pretty random stuff, much like Facebook statuses in their initial days.

Not much point to this post, other than marking a historic date with … Read more
