What Has Twitter Done For You?

Connecting with your fellow professionals is important in the CG Industry, when you connect and build up a relationship with others in the same industry, it allows you to see things from a different perspective.
Twitter (in my opinion) has proven to be a fantastic and effective platform for CG Artist to connect, build relationships, network, share ideas, share tips/techniques and all much more exciting stuff.
Twitter is so many things, it’s a central HUB for people to announce pointless things, such as ‘I just got in the bath’, ‘I’m picking my nose’ and other stupid stuff, but it’s also very ‘value adding’.
There are tonnes of CG Artists adding value on Twitter, sharing tutorials, CG News, looking for work…Twitteris a discussion board, a forum, a chat, it can be whatever you want it to be.
The reach Twitterhas is extraordinary, you can ask a question and expect a reply from people that aren’t even on your follow list, this is because on some occasions some of your followers spread the word by RT (Re Tweeting) your questions to ‘their’ followers, and the followers of ‘their’ followers, exponentially until the question, which (in your eyes) was only intended for a few hundred people, can be seen by thousands.
Now that’s a very powerful reach.
I personally have met some very good people (CG Artists and other) through the use of Twitter and I can say that a few of them, have opened me up to a world that has literally changed my life, Twitter has given me the chance to connect with my fellow professionals and individuals who share the same passion and outlook on life as I do.
I have grown as an artist by interacting with my followers on a level I wasn’t presented with in any ‘forum’ format, Twitter has given me a platform to create CGTweetUP, which is a CG Networking community aimed at helping CG Artists / Digital Artists to better connect and build relationships with their fellow professionals.
For me Twitter has a very strong CG community which is thriving and one I hope to add value.
