    Self-Improvement, 140 Characters at a Time

    Today's tweets: Ashton Kutcher tried to be more tolerant, the New Yorker's Sasha Frere-Jones tried to be more zen, and a guy who dropped out of journalism school tried to be more drunk.

    New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof was at Davos and you weren't.

    Self-described J-school dropout Reed Kavner drank and then drank some more.

    Recent Twitter adopter Ashton Kutcher apologized for being a whiny jerk.

    Former G4TV producer turned Late Night with Jimmy Fallon behind-the-scenes man Gavin Purcell didn't know what to make of other people's interest in him.

    New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones tried to be more Zen, which sounds like a good idea after his bus-fare freakout.

    Anyone else's tweets we should keep an eye on? Send us more Twitter usernames, please.
