Every so often if you follow random people you'll very quickly cross paths with a segment of the community whom you would probably otherwise not have much contact with With @jamesotron you will discover someone who has a love for all things tech. If you aren't a part of a particular community it can be easy to get lost in the jargon or terminology that gets used. However @jamesotron is quite clear that one of his missions is this "I care about making tech culture more inclusive."
And so he doesn't tweet all that much about tech stuff directly. He tweets just enough to let you know that tech is what he does, loves and is something he knows a lot about. He does also have a couple of other projects/accounts that he has created and you can find them here @axeio and @sociablenz
One thing he also has is great balance. Work doesn't dominate his life and he has found some incredible balance in life. Being married to the lovely @becs certainly helps his credibility as well. And when you read tweets like this one you know the guy is a 100% good guy -
"So @becs is sitting next to me watching outrageous fortune, and I can't resist glancing over. It's like seeing old friends again." Aaawwwwwwwwwww. Not only does he tweet about the love of his life he also tweets about his nearest and dearest. He also tells us a little about his kids -
"Kids switching from The Muppets to The Clone Wars. I guess I should make them breakfast." and this one as well
"scratch that. my son’s first day of school that day! bad dad!"
And occasionally he tweets something very funny that makes you do a double take as to its meaning, Take this one for example -
"A military jet just flew over my house. This is significant because in New Zealand we have no military jets."
If you are new to twitter and are wondering "what do I tweet? How do I tweet? What is there to talk about?" then @jamesotron is worth having a look at as an example of how to twee in such a way as to win friends and influence people.
