Twitter Mania

Why did it take me so long? I’m just now jumping on the Twitter wagon, despite having had an account for several months. This summer (as always) has been slow for me, so I’ve taken advantage of my downtime by learning new things, reading the blogs of top designers, and making full use of my iMac for productivity and growth. It’s been a wonderful experience so far (I just wish I was getting paid for it!).

But the one revelation that has made the biggest impact on me is Twitter. I never knew how useful it could be for my business. I had no idea of the power behind it. Maybe I’m being overdramatic, but where else can I connect with so many incredible designers, clients, and all around creative people? No where that I’ve found. I’ve discovered more amazing and inspirational blogs and websites this summer than ever before. I think I’ve grown more as a designer, and I’ve certainly become inspired for the next big project that comes my way.

That being said, there’s a lot I don’t know about Twittering, Tweeting, whatever it’s called. I know there are some guidelines to follow for business tweeting, but I’d love to get info straight from dedicated Twittererers.

So, what are your Twitter tips for a newbie? What’s the one thing you’d love to tell tweeters?

I’d love to hear how Twitter has changed your or impacted your business, and I’d love to hear any tips and advice on Tweeting for a completely behind-the-times newbie.

Happy networking!
