X/Twitter still remains the number one social media that you can get in touch with influential people and get a reply.
This is not by chance. It’s because on π/Twitter, people share their thoughts and opinions (their intelligence). So when people get in touch with them it’s because of that. Not because they posted and sexy picture or a video dancing.
