Hi Wayne, it’s just another way to interact with people online. Whilst not necessary, Twitter can put you in contact with people you wouldn’t otherwise “meet,” and offers another way for people to contact you.

Hi David.
Thanks for the Post.

I have been using Twitter for sometime now, but have never had any response from it.

I was starting to wonder if it really worked. It feels like throwing your comments out into fresh air.

Does it really work?
I wonder what I am doing wrong. . .

I adopted Twitter about 6 months ago, but not as much for a marketing ploy, but to gain insight from other designers and to knock down the metaphorical wall between a business and it’s clients. My hope is this Twitter account gives my clients a sense that they see who I am as an individual as well as a designer. I’ve found that the more someone is comfortable with who you are, the more apt they’ll be at doing or continuing business with you. In a digital age, Twitter can provide a virtual “face-to-face.”

Not a problem, Gareth. I just read a relevant post from Lyndon Antcliff: Twitter Killzone leaves 2,000 casualties. Much of what he says resonates with my thoughts.

Interesting to read. In my opinion too often an agency’s Twitter is merely self promotion, and while for some that can be interesting (like Hi-res’ work is always worth checking out for example), most are simply not worth to follow.

I think that Tweets can be an informal means to share your vision, passion and interests to the outside world, away from your website. Combine that with an occasional company news or launch, perhaps a sneak preview and you could have a pretty good communication channel.
