Follow Us On Twitter

by trish on November 24, 2008

What is Twitter you say? Go to their homepage and you will see testimonials from users explaining it within the 140 character word limit that constitutes a tweet. Basically it is a micro blogging platform that asks the question What Are You Doing? Join Smashing Darling on Twitter and tell us! We really want to know.


Follow @smashingdarling .

You can search for others using Twitter Search.  Search for people, places, things, topics, anything your heart desires and I will bet you will find people talking about whatever it is you fancy. By doing this, you will instantly start a conversation. The more people you know, the further your business will grow.

I don’t want to reinvent the wheel, here are a couple of articles about Twitter that I found helpful when I started:

Pro Blogger – Twitter For Beginners – 5 Things to Do as a New Twitter User (also a great blog for tips about blogging.)

Chris Brogan – How I Use Twitter at Volume

Leave me a comment to share articles about Twitter.

Mashable Open Web Awards Are Only A Day Away

There is only a day left until the Open Web Awards, the award ceremony for social websites hosted by Mashable and 30 other blogs. They’ve already filled all the alloted places, but a dozen more super-special people can cram in. These include sponsors (yes, you can still get sponsor benefits if you contact Adam today) & special guests. Representatives from hundreds of tech companies large and small, including Google, Yahoo, YouTube, Friendster and Facebook, will be in attendance.

Julie and I will be in attendance to represent the indie design community and Smashing Darling. This is awesome that Smashing Darling received the honor of 2nd place for Best Social Shopping Network among so many great websites in this contest. The most amazing part to us, the site isn’t even a year old yet. Pretty darn cool, if I do say so myself.

The event will be held at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California on Thursday, January 10th from 7:00 – 10:00 PM. Mashable founder Pete Cashmore, Editor Adam Ostrow, Lead Writer Kristen Nicole and Adam Hirsch.
