Eric Siu argues that founders should use Twitter over LinkedIn for hiring, fundraising, and dealmaking. Twitter's direct messages actually work, while LinkedIn's are full of spam and low-quality pitches.
Twitter to me is a place for founders. Twitter is an incredible place to get investments, to do deals, to hire. I mean, I have hired probably my last 15 or 20 hires. I don't touch LinkedIn. I don't touch LinkedIn with a 10-foot pole because have you guys been in your LinkedIn DMs lately? Full of trash. But you go to your Twitter DMs and you build up a personal brand as a Twitter CEO and you can start reaching out to people who actually get marketing in the 21st century. I only use Twitter.
