Twitter Banter
06th November 2008. Posted by Ruth Pipkin. Trackback
As a small company, one of the things you can miss from time to time is some good old fashioned banter across the office. Not that Tara and I don’t talk, but spending so much time together we tend to rely on ESP. We also don’t have a water cooler, so there is no natural place to dissect what we’ve been up to the night before, the latest thoughts on John Sergeant’s footwork, or the merits of a peanut butter Kit Kat over regular.
But I’ve noticed an interesting development over the past week, as we’ve both started using Twitter more frequently. Our office banter has found a natural place online.
We now have a growing network of friends and colleagues to share the highs and lows of a day’s work with. On one level, it’s an intriguing insight into the tea and doughnut habits of Birmingham’s creative sector. On another, it’s a direct line to advice and feedback from some of our most trusted peers.
You can’t beat the real thing, but Twitter banter certainly provides a welcome distraction during the working day. As does a Kit Kat.
