The reason Twitter succeeded is because of the simplicity of the idea and design. It's simplicity allows it to be whatever the user needs it to be.

It can replace your RSS feed aggregator, your bookmarks, your facebook, your contacts on your cell-phone, etc., etc.

Features get added over time, but they're much more opt-in then opt-out. Meaning, you actively have to seek them out and use them; they're not forced on you. This means that the base product is still the same as it has always been; they're not, as 37 Signals would put it, dying with their user base.

In summary, Twitter serves many purposes and it does it in a fashion that it doesn't get in your way.


I'm a 24 year old bachelor and have been looking for these kind of tips as well. These are the things I've found and used.

Cooking utensils:

-George Foreman

-A bunch of those throw away plastic containers

Breakfast (Takes 2-3 minutes):

-Get the All Whites egg whites and pour some of it in a small plastic container and throw it in the microwave for a minute and a half

-Throw that egg on a wheat tortilla with some salsa and spinach and you have a breakfast burrito.

Lunch (~3 minutes to prepare, ~3 minute to cook):

-Black beans + Chunk chicken + spinach + salsa + guacamole + hot sauce + (whatever else you want for flavor) all into a bowl and toss it in the microwave. Quick and tasty.

Dinner (~10 minutes to prepare, ~5 minutes to cook):

-Chicken breasts grilled on the George Foreman. I generally cook a bunch at a time, store the rest in the fridge and then heat them up at a later date. Throw whatever you want on top of them for added flavor.

-Boil broccoli or some other bagged vegetable in a plastic container in the microwave

-Black beans, pinto beans, some other good beans.

Snacks:

-Nothing beats baby carrots for me. Grab some hummus for some extra flavor.

-Bananas, Apples, Oranges. If you're dieting try to avoid too much fruit, but don't neglect it either.

Notes:

-This is for a super healthy diet, so if you're not looking for really healthy switch some of these things out. However, I generally split my lunch into two meals making all 4 meals about 4 hours apart a piece and I never get hungry between them, even with exercise. Not being hungry definitely helps kill cravings.

-This follows the slow-carb diet, all except for the wheat tortilla in the morning
