tweet tweet
Having managed to feign interest for a while I’ve been reading up on Twitter and other social networking tools in order to better understand the hype. The result is I’m pretty much blown away by this free social messaging utility and ashamed to admit that it’s taken me months to set up an account and start “tweeting”.
In the past I’ve occasionally wanted to write a short blog, or share a brief piece of news, rather than write a full account of my findings covering the what, why and where. Twitter fills this gap and I’m looking forward to using it to update my Facebook status and Twitter feed on our newly launched website. It’s exciting to know that with just one post or text I can update people on recent graphic and website design findings, or simply recommend tools that can help them in the business.
What’s interesting about this utility is that I had originally steered clear of it for fear of being interrupted by mundane messages. The great thing is you can stop following at any time, and you can even set quiet times on Twitter so you’re not interrupted.
Having only used the tool for business purposes for just a matter of days I’m yet to discover the true benefits to Creative State, however others have explained the benefits of posting questions and getting the answers you want right away and I hope I can make good use of Twitter to help others too.

its worth making the point (as you just did) that tedious tweets exist, but soon become buried under the good stuff- if you go out there and find new people to follow.
then again, one man’s tedious tweet: ‘i’m having waffles for breakfast’ can be a fun break from the stream of pseudo-news and stress related deadline tweets that i seem to amass. anyway. welcome!
Callum – thanks for visiting the website and commenting on our Twitter blog.
You’re absolutely right – sometimes silly tweets do make a change from the design and business related news we tend to follow…the odd joke or two doesn’t go amiss. Keep in touch!
