Many interesting people in the UK Construction industry are now joining twitter but it is sometimes difficult to find them.
You can go to wefollow.com “a User Powered Twitter Directory” and search for some terms there (the service was set up by the creators of twitter – people can add themselves under three categories at a time).
Take a look at #Construction
You could check out Twellow.com “The Twitter Yellow Pages” if you can bear the clunky design and ads. Take a look at “UK Construction”
And now you can do something else – check out UK Construction on Twitter.
After the success of the Architects Twitter League many other construction people have asked about what else is planned. Martin Brown set out in his great post ‘Twittering on the Edge of Chaos’ – We’ll have to wait and see because I’ve no idea…yet. Twitter is an evolving beast.
Managing the league is pretty hard work because I currently have to enter each new person on the league individually, so I’m not volunteering to do the same with other disciplines. However new ways of using twitter are emerging all the time, and the simplest idea I had was to follow all the UK Construction tweeps in one place; that way you can find them too as I do.
When I find UK Construction people I’ll follow them from UK Construction. If I have any doubts if you are a UK Construction tweeter I’ll check out your profile – and you can encourage me to follow you be following UK Construction. If you find some UK Construction people you can point them out to me too, just @ukconstruction with tweets of interest.
Like the Architects Twitter League Account, items of interest to the followers will be tweeted at my discretion – you can always ask me – but the objective is not to spam the followers, its to draw your attention to the followed, so I won’t be tweeting too often.
If you’ve got any ideas for what constructive things I could do with UK Construction and ArchitectsLeague then do let me know.
Hope you like the UKConstruction twitter account. Tell your friends about UK Construction. Lets see if its useful!
Very useful blog article. Thank you.
Thanks for this interesting and commendable initiative. I’m now following you on Twitter!
Nice article, will follow on twitter… we are in the need of distributors for our energy saving paints and renders. Our Insodec thermal emulsion paint helps reduce heat loss, condensation and mould.
Looking for companies to try.
Great article, very helpful. Needless to say I have just followed you on Twitter @scsuppliesltd
Thanks for commenting – after three and a half years I still get traffic to this blog post from people looking for UK construction folk on Twitter.
The account @UKConstruction now has nearly 20,000 followers which suggests that twitter is becoming a rather mainstream place for UK Construction professionals.
I’ve also begun to ask the members of my list to join the @Architect_map, a crowdsourced map of construction professionals on twitter. Find out more at ArchitectMap.net.
