Christopher Stone, Twitter's co-founder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

After some debate about the utility of sharing in only 140 characters, Twitter has emerged as one of most powerful social platforms. \u00a0 According to some studies, people stay logged on for 12 hours addicted to the stuff being shared.<\/p>\n

But is that healthy? \u00a0The co-founder of Twitter himself doesn\u2019t think so. \u00a0He thinks you should get what you want and then go onto do what is important to you.<\/p>\n

Bottomline:<\/span> Don\u2019t make Twitter so important that the REAL important stuff in your life becomes secondary or even worse. \u00a0But with the social media, that seems to be the real challenge in the information addicted world. \u00a0Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Interesting advise<\/a> from the Twitter co-founder,\u00a0Christopher Stone:<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018To me, that sounds unhealthy.<\/p>\n

\u2018I like the kind of engagement where you go to the website and you leave because you\u2019ve found what you are looking for or you found something very interesting and you learned something.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think that\u2019s a much healthier engagement. Obviously, we want you to come frequently.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
