I started Twittering the other day and I’m strangely enjoying it. I never gave it a chance before, or even a second thought, but there’s been a rise in buzz about it lately so I thought I’d give it a try.

I’m finding the best part is connecting with other like-minded people, as well as getting instant updates, tips, and breaking news from people I’m interested in.

There are actually quite a few illustrators on twitter, you can see some of them in my growing Friends list.

I wouldn’t say I’m addicted to it (yet), like so many others say they are, but I am at the point where I felt the need to install a Firefox plugin to get updates automatically instead of visiting the actual site. The Plugin I’m using is TwitterFox and it’s working very well so far.
