There have been loads of posts and comments on here about Twitter being rubbish and I've read so many comments saying that all anyone uses it for is to tell the world when they are having a shit, eating a sandwich etc. But my experience of it, as a designer, is actually really good. Loads of interesting articles about design, links to freebies (photoshop brushess, shapes, icons etc) and tutorials. If you follow searches like #design or #typography you get loads interesting things to read on those subjects. I think anyone who says, "fed up hearing about people taking a shit" doesn't actually know how to use it properly.
I like it... there I've said it!!

And yet, somehow, life goes on, with or without Twitter.

it can be a great tool for resources and even finding new work... but the majority of it is shit. Bit like the internet in general i'd say.

I've just finished my sandwich, I'm going to go make some coffee now.

If you follow people who offer little or no value Twitter is useless. If you follow people with lots to offer it's great.

I find it shit for finding links, it's all just a load of fucking shrunk URLs, can't tell where the fuck you are heading or if it is a waste of time.

Twitter probably has more useful information than QBN if u follow the right people.

I'm just glad it doesn't require an invite.

It's a tool like anything else. It's value depends on how you use it.

If you arent famous then it's pretty useless. If I want to let someone know what im eating for lunch, isnt that what facebook is for?

twitter was great during wimbledon when i was working and didn't have access to a live feed. I just subscribed to several people twittering about it live and it wound up being a constant stream of commentary about the action. not as good as watching, but i got to follow the action closely.

Its stating the obvious, Twitter is now part of life for me. If you socialise with idiots you won't learn anything... People slagging Twitter don't use it because they don't know who to follow.
follow me @LeeMurrell ;)

Don't follow anyone, you fucking digital sheep. Head down, power on, oblivious.
