I’ve finally integrated the latest 4 “tweets” from my Twitter account into the far right sidebar here on this blog. Took a little JavaScript/PHP work but it’s working beautifully! For those that want to know what Twitter is, it’s a means of communication (somewhere in between Instant Messaging and Email) between friends and people you don’t know but share the same interests. It’s a great tool to make new connections in the industry you are interested in, for example I use it to “follow” people who are tweeting about web development. When I follow them, I receive any tweets they make on my home page on Twitter. They do not receive MY tweets until they decide to follow me. It works in reverse as well, if someone follows me because they like what I’m tweeting about, I will see if it’s worth my time to follow them in return. If I like what they write about, I’ll follow them. It’s a pretty simple idea that has gone viral in the past year or so, and the company has seen an incredible amount of growth. Pretty interesting stuff!
Anyway, you can now see my four latest tweets (why four? Because that’s what I decided, haha) on the far right sidebar of this page. You can also click the link “Follow me on Twitter” to see my Twitter homepage.
Cheers!
