How Tweet It Is
It’s taken some fine-tuning, but we’ve developed several of these Twitter collections for the trade. Every day, you can see a new edition of:

• Stone Tools & Equipment Daily, tracking the tweets from machine and tooling manufacturers worldwide.
• Stone Products Update, which adds tweets from producers and manufacturers of surface materials, installation/renovation goods and other products allied to the trade.
And, then there’s:
• The Daily Fabricator (Tweet Tally), tracking more than 140 fabricators (and the list keeps growing) with their Tweets.
All the papers are produced automatically by Small Rivers’ program, so there’s no editing by them or by me. Some of the Twitter accounts we follow offer something daily; others belch out something once every 13 months or so, when someone remembers that they have a Twitter account. And the messages can be random and eclectic, from a fabricator praising a tool to an Italian manufacturer linking to a great recipe for chicken salad.
If you’re on Twitter already, email me with your Twitter name. Ours, if you want to follow our regular feed, is @StoneBizMag.

This isn’t a money-making proposition for us. It’s an attempt to tap into a vast flood of information, find the things that you can use, and deliver them in a clear and easy-to-use way.
The volume and value of the collected Tweets varies, but there’s usually something interesting every day. You can decide if Twitter’s worthwhile – and we’re glad to help.
