These Twitter lists are getting more and more attention these days from the Old Media vanguards. Time just published it&#8217;s list of 140 Twitter Feeds to follow and I&#8217;m <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">happy<\/span> relieved to see Neil DeGrasse Tyson (@<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/neiltyson\">neiltyson<\/a>) make the list. In the big scheme of things, this is kind of silly, we&#8217;re acting like he just won a Nobel prize, but it&#8217;s important that more brains get noted for the cool factor so that having a brain becomes cool. Haven&#8217;t we all gotten tired of vacuous icons?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now if only we could make Time list Science and Education closer to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
