Want to be added? Send me a message. Preferably in the above format. It may take me a few days to add it…bear with me. Again, with Twitter Lists being released, I stopped updating this page. You can find some IP Professionals on my list: http://twitter.com/nipper/lists
Adrian (@JDTwitt) has a separate list of legal professionals using Twitter. Make sure you ping him if you are not on his list.
Since many of you have asked, my Twitter background was done by Johnathan Hardesty (@johnhardesty) at Tricycle Consulting. Awesome job, great prices (tell him I referred you and he’ll take care of you). Your brand is important…what does your Twitter background say about your brand?
Please add me, @bcjb, thanks.
