#intdesignerchat

Connecting with Colleagues & Follow Friday (#FF)

Those of you who have been following me for a while - through Twitter, Facebook, my blog or IRL (in real life), have figured out that social media is a standard part of my day. I especially enjoy the immediacy of Twitter and the expanded ability for conversation with Facebook.  One of the biggest benefits I have enjoyed with Twitter are the twitter chats.  One such chat, #intdesignerchat, is a "weekly international chat that takes place on Tuesdays at 6p EST and is open to any one in the Interior Design, Interior Architect, + Home Furnishing Industry". The amount of knowledge that is shared during this live chatting (think live texting if you're yet unfamiliar with the process) is invaluable.  It's fun, its fast, its friendly and valuable! 

On Twitter, Friday has long been I day used to promote "followers" who provide valuable input and conversation on an ongoing basis, using the #FF or #FollowFriday.  This is basically like texting a shout-out to all your pals and telling them all at once some great "peeps" they may want to connect with. That being said, I'd like to use this space today as my #FF shoutout - since it will be way beyond 140 characters - for my colleagues who share so generously with one another through #intdesignerchat participation.  So if you are looking for some great folks to follow, I've got some great folks for you below. You can follow them on Twitter, their blog or both:
