I was never very keen on the idea of using Twitter. Why one more layer of communication on the top of so many other tools we use? Shouldn’t RSS, Google Reader, Skype, Facebook, MSN, Google Talk, etc be enough?

Thinking a bit more about it I thought it would be fair with the readers of this blog give them a more quick, fast and personal channel to inform about things I am looking at on a everyday basis.

Of course that when I got in contact with the Twitter pages of people I admire – such as the singer Billy Corgan, the artist Jenny Holzer and the “NY Times” critic Cathy Horyn - I was a bit more convinced.

The main vocation of The Gentleman will keep being to look at some subjects like a virtual magazine is supposed to do. I hope you are enjoying it by the way.

For those who want more speed I hope to meet you there: @gentlemanworld
