twitter

Your time is valuable and you need valuable content in your Twitter timeline. Here some reasons why you should follow me on Twitter:

• I just share knowledge and ideas that I think may be helpful for my followers.
• I spend a lot of time teleworking, programming, designing and consulting on Internet projects. Many useful thoughts from all that turn into tweets.
• I like to watch good movies, listen to great music and enjoy the best books I can find. Even if your tastes are different than mine you may find something worthy.
• I follow a very small group of very interesting people. You may find some very smart guys and gals thru me.
• Once in a while I may have a few questions that you could answer. I may retweet your answer and we both can help a lot of people.
• If I find your tweets valuable I may follow you. Many of my followers could do so as well.
• We can become good friends and possibly collaborate on a project later.
• I keep personal messages in private and won't clutter your timeline.
• I tweet in both English and Spanish. If you're learning either of those languages this is a good way of doing it.
• I try to keep updated on the latest news all over the world. You may hear it from me before you watch it on TV or read it on news sites.
• Finally, I have a good sense of humor so you can mock me and I won't send my goons to your house, or nearest ISP.

Versión en español: ¿Porqué debes seguirme en Twitter?

True, we can no longer consider social networking, or should I say social media?, as something restricted to a group of geeks without a life. Social networking has reached Joe and Jane; mom and pop and your kids. It's already changing lives and helping causes all over the world.

In this first episode of In Silico in English I offer a quick look at the evolution of social networks.

I've started a quick race for 5000 followers on Twitter, I'm calling it the race to #5Kf. If you want to help just follow me: @alexisbellido on Twitter.

If I win the race I'll give away an Asus Eee PC netbook to one of my 5000 followers and help the Hemophilia Peruvian Association to get a new law approved to improve the lives of thousands of boys with Hemophilia.

Yes, this is inspired in the Ashton thing. And yes, I do think social media can really change the way we live.

The complete details, in Spanish, here: la carrera por los 5000 en Twitter.
