Seems like everyone is talking about Twitter at the moment, even Chris Moyles on Radio 1 spent a good 20mins this morning talking about it with (of all people!) Andi Peters and Philip Schofield who are forging an army of followers between them. I think it’s safe to say that if Philip Schofield is announcing it to his GMTV audience then it’s safe to say it’s gone mainstream.

As a band, if your audience uses Twitter then it’s another great way to build that relationship with them and let them feel part of the story. Dropping exclusives and news via the service gives you a great way of keeping everyone up to date with the new recording project or the newest gig bookings.

Many bands already do it and helpfully CoEdMagazine has recently compiled a list of 406 of them including many of our favorite artists so if your desperate to know what My Brightest Diamond, Jack Penate or MuteMath are doing right this moment then click and find out.
