So I'm not going to lie and say that I'm a huge fan of Twitter. However, I do see potential and it comes from an angle I previously had not put much thought into. This aspect of Twitter might actually get me signing on more than once every two weeks and it is the following of people rather than sharing my own thoughts.
To clarify things, when I say the following of people I don't just mean your average Joe (not that they're not interesting) but the following of people you do not personally know but admire, like athletes and stars. Though I've known for a while that many famous people use Twitter to reach out to their fan base I honestly did not care what any of them had to say until I found some one that I actually find interesting enough to tune into. His name is James Stewart and he is commonly known as the fastest man on two wheels. He is likely one of the most under appreciated athletes in one of the most under appreciated sports in the world. His sport is motocross, and he is simply amazing at it. Every time this man throws a leg over a bike he truly blows minds with what he can do. Whether your a fan of the sport or not, one glimpse of what this guy can do on a bike and you have to stop and wonder how it's possible. And if you don't believe me then just check out the video below.
Hate to give credit to Twitter because in all honesty I have given it my fair share of slack but it does allow you to keep track of some pretty cool people who you would otherwise be missing out on.
