Tw’elcome!

Hi, I’m Glenn. I’m a Mac-using, social media-loving, open source enthusiast who owns a web design, development and consulting company called ImageX Media. I’m all about the good things in life – you know, life-changing things like cracking open a tall can of Arizona iced tea or landing my preferred Facebook URL. In all honesty, I’m easy to please – I value authenticity, kindness, and a good sense of humour. Is that so much to ask? Oh, and I’m passionate about making our world a better place, so if you are too, chances are we’ll get along just fine.

One of my reasons for being on Twitter is to help others navigate the dizzying world of social media by sharing information that has helped me survive – and thrive – in the Twittersphere and beyond. To me, Twitter is a new kind of community – a group of people doing life together, sharing stories and things they’ve learned at different steps of the journey. In the end, social media is no different than “real life” – it’s all about building relationships. And, like all relationships, some things work and some things don’t. Hopefully I can help you figure out which is which.

If you’re brand new to Twitter – welcome aboard! Here’s a post chalk full of the best resources I’ve come across on Twitter that should give you pretty much everything you need to get up and going. Additionally if you’re interested in growing your following, you’ll want to check out this one.

To find out more about my personal approach to Twitter and its eerie similarities to dating, including thoughts on who to stalk … er, follow, what to say, and when to break up, read this post.

A lot of my tweets are about technology, which is, of course, my job and also the world in which I am blissfully immersed. If you’d like to know more about ImageX, see our award winning portfolio, or learn about Drupal, check out our site.

And if you’ve made it this far, congratulations – you have a much better attention span than I do. Thanks for giving me two minutes of your life – and I look forward to getting to know you in the Twittersphere.
