Linking to your twitter profile as a "url" is something I've never understood. I'll see really awesome web sites, want to see what else the person has done and I have to go through the extra clicks of first going to a twitter profile, then to the site.
Granted, it's one extra click, but I'm not particularly interested in your timeline of tweets. I want to see your work.
- corin_ 15y agoTwitter on business cards is mostly as a form of connection (same as an email address). For many people it's a dumb idea, but in some circles (a good example being tech marketing) it can be useful. If someone who actively uses twitter follows you, and you're an active user too, it's a constant reminder that they know you, and they won't forget who you are.
- iamdave 15y agoIn the example you gave (and it was a very good one, it makes sense), wouldn't it be more prudent to link to a github profile or something otherwise reduces the layers necessary to obtain access to what makes you relevant to the viewer's interests?
