🏞 CFW Retreat
We’re thinking of hosting a weekend retreat for founders, future founders, executives, creators, and creatives. Anyone who's curious and building or thinking of building something.
It would be held somewhere close to NYC or SF, there would be some light programming around themes you’ve seen in the newsletter, and most importantly, it would be super fun (and a bit weird).
Want to come?
Please vote to let us know whether this is something we should explore more or not.

🐦 How to use Twitter
There’s two kinds of people in this world…those who use Twitter and those who don’t.
If you’re not on the Twitter train but looking to get on it, we have some good news for you: Holloway Guide just launched a free guide on how to use Twitter.
While there are no official rules to Twitter, there are definitely conventions — how to write your bio, who to follow (ahem, @kubeans and @whimsicalwiz), deciding what to share and re-share. The guide covers all that and more.
We asked Andy Sparks (co-founder of Holloway Guide) why Twitter is important to him. Here’s what he had to say:
“Twitter is such a weird place. I love Twitter. It's the one social network I'm like totally addicted to. I love Twitter though because it can facilitate real world relationships. It's how I met Danielle Morill from Mattermark. That's how I met Josh, my co-founder at Holloway. I've just met really cool people through Twitter and the people that I've chosen to follow surface things that I would never find anywhere else. There's a really cool article from MIT Tech Review showing research that people with a diverse Twitter follows generate all kinds of unique ideas. There are so many experts, photos of their ability to connect ideas and talk to people in different areas.
