But soon I found myself burning up hours going through my feeds. Enter sites like http://www.reddit.com/ or /g/ that made surfing more social and seemed to point me in the direction of things I found interesting. Still, social sites are like shotguns that capture the most interesting out of many hits. Twitter accounts on the other hand are like sniper rifles directing me straight to the source of specific points or people of interest. Twitter is quick and stuffed to the gills with things I am interested in. Hence me finding this post by just glancing up for a moment.
