In our second PPP lesson, Mike explained to us all how Twitter is really good for networking and meeting people from the industry, as well as the social side of Twitter. (He's a massive fan of Twitter apparently)
It also give us access to so much more new material and new animations that are just being released that, if it wasn't for Twitter, I'd have no idea they existed.
He had us all set up a Twitter account, just to try it out, because Twitter isn't for everyone. I, however, absolutely love Twitter. It's really useful to see what everyone's doing, and I went slightly overboard when I made my Twitter account and followed over 200 people straight off! As well as the guys from my class and a few from the other years on my course, I've followed a lot of professionals and successful animators who I hope will tweet some useful tips and I can ask them questions about the industry and hopefully show them my animations (whenever I make some..). The only thing about Twitter that maybe isn't so great is that I've followed so many people now that I can't keep track of everything that's going on... but I guess I'll get used to that.
