s2p Picks for Urban Landscape - Twitter List
Thursday, January 20, 2011 at 3:45PM I have been using Twitter for the last couple of years and have found it an essential resource to keep up to date on current information and events. As a new user twitter can be a bit daunting and it sometimes takes a while to “get it”. My advice is to jump right in.
It can still be difficult to find good resources or people to follow on twitter. So I have complied a curated list of influential people and organizations with a focus on the public realm and landscapes. This is a good place to start for people interested in Landscape Architecture, the public realm and cities. These are also compiled on a twitter list at @space2place/s2p-picks-urban-landscape I will update this list as I find others with something to say.
Also if you have an ipad definitely check out Flipboard (check out the demo video). It has become my preferred method to browse twitter. You can just add a link to the list above to browse the content shared by the members of the list.
