So good I actually made a blog post about it instead of posting to twitter. Made by Pete Candeland and Passion Pictures.
Since Oprah is on Twitter, everyone you know is going to be on Twitter. This is inherently good and bad. Good because you finally don’t have to explain to your friends what Twitter is anymore, bad because eventually Twitter will seem like an overcrowded party that used to be “exclusive” and “cool”.

There are two main points to this post, let’s start with #1:
Staying Social. Twitter is full of different types of users who think Twitter is used for many different things (which it is). The whole point of Twitter, it’s core function, is being social. Talking with other people through @replies and DMs (direct messages) is the foundation of Twitter. Simply posting random updates about your life and a picture here and there will not get you to Ashton Kutcher status. I know that isn’t everyone’s goal and that’s fine, but to be fair to the people following you and true to the “social” part of social media, talk to people. Spend the extra time during the day to get involved in conversations, ESPECIALLY ones that are directed at you! I’ve found countless real-world interesting people on Twitter that are posting, but aren’t talking to anyone. What’s the point? Please let me know if I missed the boat on this one.
Point #2, Good Twitter Tools. Here are a couple Twitter tools that I have used, use on a daily basis or have heard are kind of cool:
I know there are a ton of other Twitter Tools out there, if you have anything to recommend, feel free to do so in the comments. We are always looking for new tools to try out and of course share.
And of course, follow us on Twitter: @thoughtntheory, @helloportfolio (on Twitter vacation right now) and @iwearyourshirt
After about 3 - 4 weeks of hard work, we’ve released a fully-redesigned version of TheCommon.org. We’re really pleased with the results and even more pleased with the response from users.
Big thanks goes out to all people involved. And like always, look out for updates in the near future.
Update: The video was made by Andy Anderson at Paradox Media Group.
If you’ve ever watched MTV or any of its properties over the past few years then you’ll recognize the work of Dan and Andre from Dress Code NY. They’ve just released a new book called “Never Sleep” focusing on a designer’s transition from art school student to working professional. We sit down and chat with them about the book, Dan’s virginity and various aspects of life as a designer.
