I don't use Facebook for business. I tried it once, but figured that I wouldn't have the time to keep it going so I deleted it to concentrate on Twitter.<strong>@Andrew</strong> → The sidebars contained way too much info, so, time pending, I'm going to create a category page instead.I changed the Favicon as the "cog concept" was part of the blog design from a year ago, so I figured it had to go. It's amazing how such a small graphic can take ages to conceptualise! @Rowenta → Yeah, time is a big issue. I don’t use Facebook for business.

It must be a nice surprise. Frankly, I have never figured out how to make use of Twitter to my advantage. I find that Facebook is a better networking tool than Twitter although I'm also not using it to its full potential. I guess that's just so much time I'm willing to spend sitting in front of the computer everyday! :) Congrats on landing a project. It must be a nice surprise.

I state that I do not answer withheld numbers. This for the most part weeds out sales callers and suchlike.I think pros outweigh the cons, though. Even if you don't answer every call, at least the number is available to potential clients. Just make sure Voicemail is on with a personal message and "Bobs your Uncle".The number I use is a Skype number, which I only use for Business too. When I'm out of the office I configure it to re-direct to my mobile, which is pretty handy !<strong>@Gareth</strong> → Thanks for the info, feel free to contribute anytime :) @Andrew → I agree with what Gareth has written, but one addition to this is that next to my phone number is my phone policy.

I too probably misused it at the beginning, but now I'm not sure a day goes by when I have to check in.@Andrew Keir - I know you didn't ask me! :-) But I say it does help if you have a phone number easily available as some people will ring a handful of designers to see if they are available or interested in a project and they are likely to just move on if they can't find a phone number. It can also put peoples minds at ease if they can contact you straight away. .-= Gareth Coxon´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.dot-design.co.uk/tweet-ups-%E2%80%93-a-weekly-round-up-of-tweets-2-%E2%80%93-010210/" rel="nofollow">Tweet Ups – A weekly round up of tweets 2 – 01/02/10</a> =-.

At the moment I’ve got my cforms only before calling people back. Do you find having your phone number available publicly increases the amount of people who contact you?

I’ve been thinking about putting my number up for a while, any suggestions?
