About a week ago I started following a musician on Twitter who’s pretty well known.  I tend not to follow celebrities as I view Twitter as more of a resource-sharing tool and, thus, am looking for interesting tweets from others who point out great articles or other helpful information.  In this case, however, I decided to follow Rob and have found him to be really intelligent and insightful.  What I learned today from him is that he penned an article that appeared in the Huffington Post about gay marriage.  I was impressed with how well-written it was.  I also learned that today is his wife’s birthday.  In a series of tweets he listed “the things that rock about mari” because it’s her birthday.  Does that provide any educational content to me? No, but what I found endearing is that he used Twitter to tell everyone (publicly) why his wife is so amazing.   In my mind, that’s what rocks, and that’s why I follow him.
