Frederic A. Brussat from Spirituality and Practice, an online community dedicated to promoting a diversity of spiritual paths, gives an interesting list of 25 reasons why Twitter and "twittering" can be considered a spiritual practice and is conducive to spiritual growth and development.
Some of my favorites are: "15.) Twitter proves that although we think we are living in a universe, it's really a pluriverse of voices." [It's true, we live in a world of dynamic plurality and this rich diversity must be cherished and celebrated.]; "20.) Twitter helps us banish boredom when we realize that there is always something new to be seen, felt, or made known." [I like this because it lifts up the truth that spiritual growth can be experienced anywhere at anytime and that the fresh change of transformation is always at hand.]; and "25.) Twitter helps us to relearn the arts of generosity wherein we give to others that which means the most to us." [Generosity of giving and receiving in acts of gratitude are essential to success on one's spiritual path, and I suppose, it's true, social utility networks can certainly foster more of this practice.]
