Some people love Twitter. Others don’t get it. Believe me, I don’t have much interest in knowing what people had for breakfast or what sort of fungus is growing on their foot. It took me a while to “get” Twitter, and I’ve become a big fan. I’ve realized that if you don’t like being inundated with boring, stupid tweets, you need to follow more interesting people.
I’ve decided to use Twitter as a way to add value to the members of Kim & Jason Nation. I tend to include links to stuff that doesn’t make it into a full blog post. If I don’t think something is 1) useful, 2) inspiring, or 3) funny, I don’t tweet it. Simple as that. We have enough noise already, so I don’t want my Twitter feed cluttered with a bunch of irrelevant chatter.
I’ve included a sample list of tweets below. If you love Twitter and are into escaping adulthood but aren’t yet following us, hop to it. If you’re still on the fence about whether Twitter is cool or a sign of the upcoming apocalypse, maybe you should follow us @kimandjason before you make up your mind.

I second the motion. Everyone should follow @kimandjason. Some of the best tweeters out there. @stevobaggins is also pretty cool if I do say so myself, but he isn’t as cool as @kimandjason.
Thanks Steven!
Any time! :-)
Wait a minute…twitter is a sign of the upcoming apocalypse? Uh-oh, I’m in trouble. Come to think of it, it does have 3 T’s…and if you just take the T’s out of the word and replace them with 6’s…NOOOOO!!!
Kidding…but you knew that.
