Top 8 FRIENDLY designers WORTH following on Twitter!

Sep 3rd, 2008 by Roger in twitter

There has been many posts about designers to follow on twitter, which I did, most don’t follow back most don’t answer @‘s or dm’s so i thought I would make a post about the friendliest designer’s on Twitter

Why 8? Because on analysis and experience that was the only number that made the grade!

– Graham Smith is a nice chap who slog’s his gut’s out on design work but alway’s find’s the time to reply on twitter or comment on or digg your post’s IF he find’s them interesting enough, otherwise you’ll get a sarcastic comment from him ;)

– David Leggett is running Tutorial9.net as a full time business and has been on twitter as long as I’ve been here, again David is someone who is willing to reach out to followers with advice or tips and does answer questions ;)

– Jacob Cass, an Ozzie who has been surprised by his own success in the blogging world! Jacob seems to be one of those down to earth guy’s who will communicate with everyone, he is also a Student so God Know’s where he find’s the time!

– Adelle Charles is a self confessed over email checker which makes her a great Twitter ally ;) Alway’s the first to check your post’s and always the first to Digg your story (if it’s interesting enough!).

– Liam is a fellow Brit and has a great new blog (well it was new to me 1 month ago!) alway’s passing on links/information asking questions and giving something back! Was there really already 6 other LiamUK’s? ;)

– next up comes Andrew Houle ‘a guy from upstate NY’ actually Andrew and myInkblog was the ‘light’ that gave focus to continue my effort’s with Styletime and I have publicly apologized at least three times around the net for using the same ‘DarkZen theme as him ;) Oh he’s a top guy who Digg’s, shouts and…..replies to your messages!

– Max is currently learning to drive! Also a fellow Brit alway’s finds the time to comment or even email you after you leave a comment asking if you need help! A relevant newcomer like me but with design talent ;) not like me!

Follow Max on Twitter

Last but not least by any means! And he’s off rocking it up somewhere but usually an active soul on twitter!

– Jon Phillips founder of Freelance Folder and Spyre Studios was one of my first followers on Twitter and has alway’s responded to everything, OK the last couple of week’s you’ll see his twittering has reduced but his off on tour somewhere being a rockstar!

Ooops forgot, don’t forget to follow styletime

Yes it’s 9 I got carried away! Thanks Guy’s and Gal’s for being ‘Sports’!

You could argue that I have nothing interesting to the other designer’s I follow to listen to or reply about but that’s not the point, the point of social media, is that it’s called ‘social’ media not ‘unsocial media’!

They ALL want Digg’s they all want you to click their link’s but not all are prepared to give back!

Dependant on how many requests I get I also have a Sh!t list of the worst culprit’s on Twitter ;)

Shall I publish it?
