The Vista Squad message reaches Twitter!

It was a proud night for us at Vista Squad HQ when we heard news of our first members to join by way of Twitter!

For those of you who don't know Twitter is a relatively new player in the social networking revolution. Often described as micro-blogging, Twitter allows you to share your thoughts or let everyone know what you are doing. Think of it as as your Facebook status on heat! Other users "follow" your updates (or "tweets" as the cool kids would say) via the web but twitter's power only really takes off when you integrate it with your phone via SMS and your favourite IM client!

I only recently signed up to Twitter and it took me a while to "get it", those of you that appreciate Facebook and use it regularly will probably wonder what else it gives you.... but give it a while, integrate it with your mobile and IM and then I think you'll begin to appreciate it's appeal.

For those of you with twitter accounts my handle is Osbornaldo  GavinOsborn, hook me up on there and I'll be sure to keep you all up to date about everything Vista Squad related!

[Edit: Told ya I was new to twitter: Didn't even get my handle right!]

It would seem your handle is infact GavinOsborn :)

Welcome to Twitter @gavinosborn

Twitter comes into it's own once you have interesting people to follow, that leads to interesting conversations, so go forth and tweet :)

About Gavin Osborn

After graduating from the British education system I've spent most of my career working for various Microsoft Partners in a technical capacity focusing on web technologies. In the last year I've had the pleasure of working for Dot Net Solutions as a Software Architect/Consultant working with a variety of technologies. More recently my focus has been on Silverlight, LINQ, Test Driven Development, Microsoft's SharePoint platform and of course the ever present ASP.NET. Oh... and I like beer.
