Hello, I’m Su Butcher, practice manager for No-Nonsense architects Barefoot & Gilles. I’m interested in connecting with people who work in or are interested in the UK construction and property industries. You can find out more about things that interest me on this blog.

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 and Be2Camp.

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.

Hi – Just wondering how regularly you update your rankings / followers? Our firm is currently listed at 64 followers, but we actually have 129.
Thanks,
Sara

Hi Sarah,
That’s interesting… I wonder how that happens?
The league is set up on twitterleague.com which feeds from the twitter API – the whole thing (except the adding of accounts to the league) is automatic. So I guess there is something going on between twitter and twitterleague…
Lets keep an eye on it, it should update regularly. If it doesn’t catch up I could let twitterleague know, might be a bug.
Thanks for pointing it out
Su

Hi Su,

Your blog is looking great!

I would say the best way of using Twitter is to set out a strategy at the outset. Decide which type of people you would like to communicate about what content.

Ed if you have decided to use Twitter to promote you also need to communicate with people and promote the things you like, that way others will promote your campaigns.

Quality not quantity, if you are fairly new to twitter don’t worry about being the most popular or getting retweets. Get yourself confident, listen to what others are saying any join in!

I personally tweet as @InteriorsJane well as have a company account I’m sure you can guess the link!

My passion is design and helping people with Dementia live independently with confidence by changing their environments.

See you soon!
