Do you follow? Freelance Advice on Twitter
Freelance Advisor is on Twitter
And you can follow us here.
If you’ve not yet joined the twittering classes then you’re missing out on the latest social networking phenomenon – according to TwitDir, the unofficial Twitter Directory, there are now over 3,000,000 users and the Twitterverse is still growing.
If you’ve used Facebook and their Status Update box then you’re already familiar with the idea. Twitter works in very much the same way, allowing a Twitter user to send a short message (or ‘tweet’) to their audience (or ‘followers’).  Unlike Facebook anyone can follow anyone, so it’s rather like a mini-blog – a channel of communication that anyone on the internet can find, and follow.
For more on Twitter, and why you should be using it, I’d thoroughly recommend Mr Aizlewood’s excellent introductory article. And if you’re worried it might be a distraction from actually getting your work done… then I recommend his How to use Twitter for marketing.

Just found this little robot does a great job of seeing what’s going on in Twitter conversations each day.

Trending topics today include “TGIF”, “talk like a pirate day” and “the new twitter redesign”.
Not a typical day, usually it’s “Obama”, “Palin” or “Google Chrome”.
A very good way of keeping your finger on the pulse.
