Carrie Jenkins discusses the benefits of Twitter for professional philosophers here.  I listened to an earlier draft of this, and I think it’s well worth listening to.

While we’re on the subject. I wrote a couple of posts on this topic when I first started using Twitter. I might as well post links to them here.

1. Philosophers on Twitter
2. Why Philosophers on Twitter are Awesome
3. Live Twittering at Philosophy Conferences

And if you’re a philosopher interested in setting up a Twitter account, you should know that philosophers will get the most use out of Twitter (as a philosopher) when you’re following other philosophers. If you set up a Twitter account, check out John Basl’s list of philosophers on Twitter.
