I have spurts of activity on Twitter. I follow EverydaySexism, Gransnet (of course), Geraldine, several scientific sites and scientists also skeptics (Ben Goldacre for example) and a few political activists. It was interesting to see the action when there was pressure on FB to do something about rape images. People were tweeting about the advertisers they were putting pressure on e.g. Dove and I (an many others) went onto the Dove FB page and asked why they were advertising on FB when FB could not guarantee that their ads would not appear on FB pages glorifying rape.
FB seems to be in retreat - they do not want to spend money I guess on monitoring content - but they certainly don't want to lose big advertiser support.
If I write a blog, I tweet that. Also if I come across some interesting research about something like gut bacteria, I would tweet that.
If you tweet then you will get some followers. Or you can just follow and find out interesting stuff.
If you get only boring tweets from somebody (e.g. it is sunny here in Torquay) then you can un-follow.
It is also good practice at writing succinctly.
