Design Like You Give A Damn

Twitter Stats

Ah Twitter! When I’m working waiting from email correspondents this is where you will find me. I guess I would fit into the “chatty” category (I send an average of 5 tweets a day, sometimes 140 characters just aren’t enough!)

I found that out by doing a little research of my own… or rather I went to Tweetstats. You know you are interested in knowing what you’d get. Perhaps take a shuffle over here and finding out for yourself?

I know there are alot of people who don’t see the point in Twitter but, honestly, there are so many different reasons to get an account. It’s free for a start, so why not? Personally I’ve found alot of like-minded people on Twitter, using your mobile phone you can text to your account, so even when you are out and about you can send updates.

In alot of ways, it’s not dissimilar to Facebook status updates, it surprises me how many people have Facebook accounts but find it “weird” having a Twitter account. Twitter is like a non-stalkery version of Facebook in my opinion.

I do not have a Facebook account, for those of your who care, some girl with my name who also lives in London is wrecking my search results posing on the bonnets of cars… nice. Ew.

On that note, I have to say it makes me feel a weird kind of angry when someone with the same name as me makes *me* look bad on the internet.

I try hard to not embarrass myself online… if I say something stupid, It’s my fault, I can own that and deal with it. You have to care about your reputation when you consider these days that most new clients, bosses and even dates will Google you, and so when that scantily dressed Charlotte Knibbs pops up on the bonnet of a car as an associated search result…(still ew) it does obviously effect your character!

The above infograph was from InformationIsBeautiful.net and yes, it is beautiful!
