I follow about 70 or so people on Twitter, but I have been cutting quite a few people out recently as not much of what they have to say applies to Qatar. Either that, or they are only there to try and sell something. Or they are boring.
(I know Twitter says "What are you doing?" but truth is, unless you are doing something really, really exciting, I just don't want to know.)
Basically, I have worked out there is one person I have to follow to find everything of any possible interest in Qatar, and that is DohaNews.
I don't know how she does it, but every interesting news item, blog post and forum discussion is covered on her feed, while all the boring stuff is cut out.
And it's all done with a sense of humour.
One recent exchange went:
dohanews Education City's upcoming million-volume library project will 're-empower books,' cover 2 football field lengths (awesome) http://u.nu/83qn3
IvanGiesbrecht @dohanews Great news about the library. But who will read all these books? dohanews @IvanGiesbrecht Not to read, silly. To sit there and look pretty :)
