How to get started with Twitter- for Printers (Part 1)
A few days ago I posted this little blog piece titled, “Printers on Twitter” about how there was a lack of printers and prepress folks on this popular micro-blogging site, in comparison to the number of graphic designers. We got a reply from a 25-year print-shop owner (newspapers, books & magazines) whom asked:
“Boy am I out of touch on Twitter! I do have a profile but I was unaware that you could create a page like Yagottaprint.com. How do I do this? Can I impose on you for advice in utilizing Twitter?”

The answer can be seen in this, the first of a several part video tutorial by Markzware on how printers and people working in print-media can get involved with Twitter.com, actively get into the community and benefit from this exercise in the form of real-hard-business. This is an excellent resource for showing how print industry members can participate in social networking.
