Twitter

Just a reminder that we twitter almost daily with info on how many poster slots are available, when we're closing, how busy we are (ie. when's a good time to come in to work on your project), the occasional interesting link, and more. You can follow us at http://twitter.com/digitalmedialab (early adopters get all the best user names, am i right?) or over in the right-hand sidebar of this blog. Follow us and we'll follow you, too. If there are other things you'd like to see us tweet about, leave a comment on this post.

Also, a couple interesting twitter links:

1. Twittervision (http://twittervision.com/) a graphic display of tweets from around the world. I don't know how useful it is, but it's certainly interesting to watch.

2. Tweet Deck (http://www.tweetdeck.com) a free program (requires Adobe Air to run, but it'll take care of that for you) that acts as a dashboard for all your twitter needs. Probably less useful for the occasional tweeter, but if you use twitter regularly, it's great.

3. Tweetie (http://www.atebits.com/software/tweetie/) At $2.99, it's more than I'd generally pay for an iPhone app, but it is quite useful if you're a hardcore tweeter, and it allows you to manage multiple twitter accounts from your phone, see other tweeters who are nearby, search twitter for specific terms and bookmark them. Check the webpage out for more on what it can do. I bit the bullet and downloaded it and I've been testing it out. So far, it's great.

Let us know if you have more twitter tidbits or advice!
