A bit more about Twitter

If you’re visiting from Twitter and would like to follow me, you are very welcome. I look forward to connecting with you.

I check out everyone who follows me but I don’t follow automatically. Just like you, I follow people who are of personal interest. That said, more often than not I will follow people who follow me. It is rare for me to unfollow, because you never know where good value lies. As a result I follow plenty of people, which helps me make the most of twitter in particular.

With several hundred people to follow, and not being on twitter 24/7, I miss a tweet or six once in a while, so if you are tweeting something and you particularly want me to see it, do @SuButcher me with the details.  I try to reply to all @messages and DMs though I would recommend you @SuButcher me rather than DM unless it is confidential, as then other people then get to see your content too.

I see social media as a continuum which connects work and social life, but I do tweet differently at different times. I use Tweetie when commuting and Hoosuite when at the desk. I used to use Tweetdeck but Hootsuite has many of the same features and stats tracking, and is less flaky! As an iPhone user I’m more likely to view video in YouTube format than Flash, and when travelling I’m more likely to be checking the whole twitter stream rather than filtering groups as I can with Hootsuite.

You can see when I’m most active on twitter by checking out these statistics.

I do have other twitter accounts – I have an account for the Architects Twitter League and an account where I follow (and help find) people in the UK Construction industry.

I’m also behind the blogsite for GreenGauge Homes, a project which aims to make sustainable housing affordable. GreenGauge Homes also has a twitter account.
You are also welcome to connect with me on Linkedin – check out my construction and property groups on Linkedin via my profile there, perhaps they will be of interest to you too.

I’m also a member of the Architects, Engineers and Constructors Network.

If you live and work in or near Ipswich you might be interested in Friends in Business, face to face friendly networking in Suffolk.

However you choose to connect with me, please do get in touch and let me know how I might be able to help you. As long as you’re not trying to sell to me direct (I get plenty of emails like that as it is!) I’ll be happy to keep in touch.
