Shall Design - Twitter for digital business, digital ready tasmania

Polly: Now you’ve also been riding the Masterchef bandwagon, according to ah, your relationship with Matt Preston Sue: Tourism Tasmania contacted me and asked me on the umm momentum of this map of Tassie skirt thing to make a cravat and umm it was supposed to be in secret commercial confidence and all that sort of stuff, so I, but I said ‘so Matt Preston’s coming to town’. So sure enough I made this cravat and then when he finally wore it on the show on that week that was filmed in Tasmania, I, one of my sons photographed that shot on actually on our TV screen, posted that on Facebook and you know, away it went again. It was just, it was really very funny, I really loved it. But ah, and then on the strength of that because Polly had, I’d been to the ah, Polly’s workshop, one on Social Media, and she said to own the real estate so I signed up for Twitter the very next morning and tweeted Matt Preston so that I could say I’d done it and then I was astonished he actually replied. It was like I was a real person so… Polly: who knew! Sue: and then the funny thing after that is that because of the way that Twitter works it seems, umm, you’re invited to follow a whole bunch of things but all these people follow me and I’ve made two whole tweets. Polly: Oh Sue Hall, you obviously didn’t listen to my workshop enough if you’ve only made two tweets! Sue: It’s like when people send me interesting stuff because of who they recommended that I follow, so sort of design based people, so I’ve discovered this, you know, people send me the latest thing in crushed paper lampshades, and you know, that sort of stuff. It’s just a really very interesting thing without me doing anything so, on it’s own merits that’s good.
