If you haven’t created a Twitter account yet, you need to head over to their website and sign-up for one today. Because Twitter can be used in so many different ways, it can be a confusing service when you first sign-up. However, once you spend a little time using Twitter, it will start to make a lot more sense.
As I said, there are a lot of different ways that people can use Twitter. However, one concrete use for Twitter is connecting with other people in your industry. If you are a web designer, Twitter can be a great way to network with other web designers. Not only can networking be useful in helping you find new clients, but having designers you can interact with on Twitter can be a great way to brainstorm and get solutions to your problems.
Although you will be able to find a lot of web designers once you start exploring the Twitter network, here are eight designers that I think any web designer should follow:
