Week 7: Twitter lists, etc.


To find people to follow on Twitter, I searched terms like:  environmental, green, sustainable, eco-friendly, brewery, brewing, beer, brew, San Diego, and engineering in different combinations.  I also found that twitter came up with a lot of great suggestions for me as I followed more people, and I was able to follow them too.  I also searched particular organizations that I thought we should follow, and I searched for news organizations like West Coaster and Beer Advocate and Grist.   I found a lot of great breweries, twitter feeds for beer magazines that Chris reads, brew pubs and craft beer bars, environmental organizations, engineering associations and organizations, and more.

I created a list for San Diego breweries because those would be our most likely initial customers, so it is good to keep track of what they are up to and get a sense of each brewery’s unique character.  I also created an engineering list to keep up to date on trends in engineering, especially related to environmentally sustainable engineering.

The lists seem really awesome for keeping pools of information separate so you can focus on big ideas separately.  I also think it helps to keep more high-priority organizations together so if you can’t look at everything, you are able to skip to whichever group is the most important for what you want to accomplish at a given time.
