With the magnetic board proving quite helpful … Continue reading Tesla Amazing Magnetic Notes: First Impression

Do You Use Twitter Lists?
I was amazed to find out that Twitter lists are apparently still rather underutilized. Lists are one of my favorite features. Now, I know Twitter has talked of filtering the feed anyway.
