Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Be themselves. Write authentically, don't hire someone to do it for you. They will always sound fake.

Accidentally posting to the client's account because HootSuite assumes you know which account you turned on.
