Angel Tweets To Keep You Au Courant

Scads of valuable updates on angel activities and seed stage investing appear early on Twitter, but many angels are uncomfortable with the medium, either because they are unfamiliar with the syntax or they are drowned in a flood of irrelevant items. To use Twitter effectively it is necessary to separate the wheat from the chaff, then to recognize which one to discard.

As an experiment, we thought we would try doing this selection for you, at least this one time. Below are twenty tweets, pulled carefully from a haystack of thousands. You may recognize many of the tweeters. To access their wisdom, simply click any url posted in a tweet.

Were you on Twitter, to follow future tweets from a source you would use their identifier, which is preceded by the “@” symbol. For example, to follow Angel Investing News on Twitter you would follow @GeorgeMcQuilken.

If you would like to view additional tweets from any of the Twitterati shown below, just click on their photograph.

Enough explanation, try looking at a few tweets. Let us know if you find them valuable. We could easily publish an occasional dedicated post such as this one or we could add a few tweets at the end of our regular posts.

Delighted to see Don Dodge quoted in the Economist in an article on Facebook’s purchase of Instagram. Don was an active member of our eCoast Angels Investment Network here in seacoast NH before leaving Microsoft for Google and relocating to California. Don opines that the purchase price of $30 per user is quite reasonable. If you check the online comments, not everyone agrees: “Now this is the kind of nonsense that was all the rage in the pre-2001 new economy days. We know how that bubble ended, now we know where this one is headed.”

Good reading all around and congratulations to Don for becoming such a prominent industry spokesman.
