Tips For Designers Using Twitter

by Josh Chase on December 28, 2009

1. Collaborate with others. Get feedback from fellow design peers and share creative ideas.

2. Follow others and spot design trends. Digg lists 100 designers to follow: http://bit.ly/6F3zMe

3. Use Twitter search. Listen out for people talking about you, your customers, or your space.

4. Ask questions, but don’t just ask questions; assist others as well when they ask you for help.

5. Look to embed Twitter services and features in your designs. Mashups are always great too!

6. Be consistent but not droll, mix your tweets with business and personal information.

7. Don’t use it as an online advert for your agency. People don’t want to hear how great you are!

8. Take it further and attend a Tweetup to meet and network with those valuable industry contacts.
