For those who follow economics, finance and the markets however, the platform is a great way to share information and make connections.
Some of the biggest players in Europe's financial sector often take to Twitter to express their opinions, discuss markets, and share charts, graphs, and interesting articles.
It can be hard to find those must-follow tweeters, so Business Insider has compiled a list of the best economists, traders, strategists, hedge funders, and journalists in Europe for you to follow on Twitter.
In a year when political risks are at the forefront of most people's minds, we decided to include a few politics focused tweeters too.
We based our highly unscientific ranking on how many followers they have, how often they tweet, how much they engage with their followers, how insightful they are and how influential they within the European financial, economic, and political climate.
NB: Anyone who works for Business Insider or has done so in the past has been excluded from this list.
