Twittering with Niall Ferguson

I saw Niall Ferguson being interviewed live from Davos last week. I like him. I have had a keen interest in his work over the years, so I thought it might be fun to ‘follow’ him with my new Twitter account (@UnwontedCandour). When I searched for his name and clicked, I got a real surprise: not because he had over 7000 followers already, but because he followed absolutely nobody…zero.
