Hooray for Twitter!

Yesterday we had a wee visit from from Studio Unbound to teach us about the importance of social media for networking as part of the design industry.



I was pretty skeptical about using Twitter for a long time. I thought it would be used like the status update page on Facebook. Whilst that is all good fun, I didn't really understand what good that was to me as a designer. Sarah Drummond was so convincing that Twitter had changed her life I thought I should give it a proper go. I already have a blog and feeling the benefits from reflecting on my work through writing so I guess I'm partly on my way to becoming

Yesterday I actually began to use Twitter despite having an account for some time. After the lecture it seems that quite a few people had the same idea. After following studio unbound I could then connect with people in my course, using them as a common contact.

Next I got really adventurous and begun following people I didn't know but saw that they were posting up some useful links. Thanks @mikepress for your links last night! They helped me on my way to structuring my dissertation that bit more clearly.

Hooray for Twitter! I am now a convert. Thanks Studio Unbound
