A lot is being written about the phenomena called Twitter in blogs, magazines and newspapers.

Two of Our Clients on Twitter

Two of our website design clients are making the most of Twitter:

Dave Hansen on Twitter
twitter.com/DaveHansenWW
Dave Hansen Whitewater, Jackson Hole, WY

Like their Blog, their whole staff this spring and summer has participated in tweeting.  By updating their Twitter feed so often they keep in front of the eyes of any potential clients as well as business partners (tourism) online.  Their posts are brief and witty.  It may seem obvious, but humor I think is one of the easiest way to engage followers on a regular. Click here to follow them on Twitter.

Lauren Artress on Twitter

Lauren uses Twitter to stay in touch with people interested in her work, her new radio show, and the Veriditas community.  Most recently. Lauren has been posting news and topics on her VoiceAmerica.com radio show.  To post more often she tweets a quote of the day, great idea!  Click here to follow her on Twitter.
