Two years on Twitter opened up my world

My friend Judy, @Judy_Kinney, sent me a note yesterday to point out that today is my 2nd anniversary on Twitter.

@RobinJP on TwitterI created my @RobinJP Twitter account two years ago today. I think that’s like 12 years of Social Media experience in Twitter years.

So happy anniversary to me. And my buddy Twitter. I’ve had some great highlights during the last two years.

I’ve had many Perfect Moments on Twitter.  I tried to explain why they matter on my Perfect Moment Project blog:

New site launched. Now the fun begins

I moved to the Reynolds Center for Business Journalism in August. My first major project has been to redesign the center’s Web site.  We launched this week and I love it.

The goal of the center is to help business journalists  and journalists who cover stories with business angles to do their jobs better. The site is designed to help us make the Reynolds Center newsy, educational and a place for business journalists to gather.

Stop by.

Tell me what you think.
