I’ve tried to explain several friends why I use Twitter. It’s not the technology that makes it so useful for me, it’s the people I meet up with there. There is a group of interesting Twitter-users for us all, you only need to find them.

Every start at a social network is difficult. You feel unpopular, a bit alone and a bit unpleasant maybe. I started Twittering a year ago and results are thrilling. I’ve caught up with a nice business network that have similar interests. They come from all over the country (Arnhem, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Groningen, Utrecht and so on). Without a digital network the chances to meet them and socialize with them would be many times smaller. After a digital meetup I’ve met several people. My collegue/employer Lucas van der Molen started twittering, too. Also due to Twitter Lucas van der Molen joined the group of entrepreneurs that fly to China within an hour to visit innovative startups and companies.
