Do you tweet? I remember signing up for it when it first appeared a few years ago, but didn't do anything with it. Now that I am gearing up to starting to do design work on the side, I've signed up with a new account:

@steamwrksdesign

found a few designers whose work I like, as well as a few friends to follow. I've downloaded the twitter app for my blackberry (so I don't overload in text message bills), managed to connect my twitter and facebook accounts and have even managed to squeeze in a few tweets! Anyone else out there into micro-blogging in the twitterverse?

I twitter, I don't do a lot on it, but it's there.

@mixedmedia65

I have one, but it's more so that I can read other folks tweets.

roachboy · 02-27-2011, 11:48 AM

I do but I barely tweet.

I was briefly excited about setting an account up for my job but it had to go through our official social media consultant and so got bored real quick.

Charlatan · 02-27-2011, 04:13 PM

I use it to follow other and post stuff. Usually I post stuff while I am bored in traffic in the back of taxis, or when I am travelling.

I have a Twitter account, but I only use it to follow someone who personally asked me to follow her.

So, my apologies to the handful of poor saps who started following me, only to discover that I wasn't posting anything for their amusement.

I have one but I signed up solely to be entered in a contest for a band I enjoy... I think I tweet 2-3 times a year.

It's amazing how quickly twitter has become part of my life, not so much for the posting of my own tweets (I'm still working on that), but for tweeting photos at work and play, and for messages from others. I was the one with the breaking news on Friday, and last week, I attended a "Halifax Designers Meetup" that I wouldn't have known about if not for twitter!

MeltedMetalGlob · 04-27-2011, 08:48 AM

Just to update my post on this thread- I just deleted my mostly useless account- and my world is better for it.

I created an account so I could follow the galactic wisdom of one Giant Hamburger.
Sadly, ever since my computer crash, I haven't been by to see any of his astronomic gastronomic gurgitations.

Giant Hamburger · 04-27-2011, 11:13 AM

Fremen, your attention and sacrifice should not go unrewarded.
Come to Austin for hamburgers and I will catch you up on all that you have missed.

I tweet once a week with art updates from my blog.

I have tens of viewers!
