Twitter?

I think I’ve been left behind on twitter and have seen that quite a few of you are regular users – so have a few questions if you don’t mind taking the time to answer :)

What do you use it for?

How do you track it and how often?

How can it benefit me?

Re: Twitter?

I use it to follow other graphic designers, web designers and web design publications (such as Smashing Mag). They regularly post interesting comments and post links to new how-tos, trends, working examples and snippets of code you can adapt or learn for your own work.

Invaluable really, and I use the official Twitter app on a Mac so it just runs in the background and I can check the Twitter stream for interesting posts a couple of times a day.

Tracking various things; technology, news, software update announcements, server maintenance notices, stalking designers and programmers to get inspiration, and also to announce my stuff.

I tend to check the timeline couple times a day, using Adium and Twitterific.

Re: Twitter?

Thanks :)

I just loaded it up in Adium and I like it

I thought it was much more hectic than it is… you can just watch and click what interests you :) Nice

now I’ll probably spend the rest of the day looking through how many people I can add :)
