I have a small weakness when it comes to online presence…

Since joining twitter probably 1-1.5 years ago I ha ent really defined whether I wanted to use it for personal or professional conduct. I regularly ‘RT’ captivating and inspirational news and design based articles, from which I have mustered the bulk of my comparitively minute following. The flip side of the communicational coin is my social usage.

A good friend of man recently posted an image of himself , which is infinitely commendable. My Twitter response was “Good man but fuck that”. A less than celebratory tribute to his efforts.

Now, I’ve given blood before and due to my innate anxiety disorder it was far from a comfortable experience. What my. Comment really meant to say was “Well done old pal you’ve done a great thing. I wish I had the mental capacity to give again”. Instead all I did was potentially embarrass myself in an infinitely public forum. I don’t see this as a career defining mistake, more of a lesson learned for the future.

In the simplest form of a conclusion it’s time to ditch the persona of an irreverent social networker and become a professional protagonist of the quality creation and distribution of debate and information. I hope the new year will bring insightful comments and straighter edge to my. Immunisation. Whether this is achieved by simply curbing the obscenities or creating a separate ‘professional’ account , who knows. Let’s be honest who cares!? Everything I do will be gearing towards me securing that elusive dream job in the creative sector!

Good evening
