We recently made some changes to our Twitter account and have decided to begin a new way of handling Follow Friday. About a month or so ago we changed our Twitter handle to 4D4Syndicate to simplify managing multiple twitter accounts. Under our new moniker we’ll be sending out tweets from:

  • 4D4Films – our film production company
  • Displaced Time – Will is the lead singer and member of the metal/industrial band
  • Recorded Memories – the subject of our latest documentary

Before we get to the good stuff, we want to mention that we follow a lot of awesome individuals on Twitter and you can see them all here: http://twitter.com/#!/4D4Syndicate/following
