Syl on Twitter – Week Of Dec 12, 2009

By Syl Arena on December 13, 2009 – 11:52 amNo Comment

Syl_Arena_Twitter_Collage

Twitter, for me, has become a very convenient way to share resources with other photographers. In case you’ve wondered about the Twitter phenomenon, think of it as a way to send a 140-character message out to a list of subscribers (aka: followers). In contrast to the legions who Tweet incessantly about the minutia of their lives, I’ve embraced Twitter as a micro-blogging platform—a way to continue the PixSylated stream of info with short bits about events and resources that I find interesting. The problem with Twitter, like listening to the radio, is that you can miss the message if you are not tuned-in at the exact moment. So I’ve decided to create a weekly digest of my Tweets—making them a permanent part of PixSylated’s archives. If you want to follow me on Twitter, click here. If you want to follow a lot of Tweeters, I recommend that you check out Tweetdeck as a browser for Tweets.

Here are my 24 Tweets for the week ending December 12, 2009.
