Bill Swartwout Photography Has a Verified Twitter Account

The “Blue Check” indicates that I am now a paid subscriber to X (Twitter).

Why not? I’ve been a Twitter member since the first year of this popular social media platform. I joined in June of 2007, only a few months after the Blue Bird spread its wings and took to the air (Internet).

Twitter, now X, continues to be a fantastic platform for showcasing my photography and reaching a wide audience. It’s an engaging space where creativity meets opportunity, making it perfect for marketing my work. Plus, having a “Verified” badge on my account adds a touch of credibility and professionalism. This little blue checkmark can boost trust and attract more followers.

A positive image is crucial for any sales effort, and Twitter helps me maintain that with its dynamic community. Sharing my latest photos and updates there allows me to connect with potential clients and photography enthusiasts alike. It’s always exciting to interact with people who appreciate art and creativity.

If you’re also on Twitter, I would love for you to join me on this journey! Head over to my X account and give it a follow. Your support means the world to me, and I’m eager to share my photographic adventures with you!

Over the last two years there have been a raft of social media memes about how badly the new ownership is doing but I the little bird has certainly not flown away. Twitter had a lot of “problems” that have been ignored for a long time – mainly fake accounts, run by bots, that spread like wildfire. I do believe that problem is being addressed because I am seeing fewer “bogus” advertisements every day.

South Baltimore Peninsula vs. Mastodon

I was looking to get involved in Mastodon, another social media platform, but…

I did open a Mastodon account but I am all-of-a-sudden too busy for anything new. Two days ago a major urban development project (the largest on the East Coast) announced a rebranding with a major media promotion in the local (Baltimore) market. I have a 23 year old website about the South Baltimore peninsula (that was our home for four+ decades). The project is on one small (235 acre) strip of land on the southern edge of the peninsula. The new name for the project is Baltimore Peninsula and, consequently, website traffic at South Baltimore Peninsula has spiked over 300% since the announcement on November 15, 2022.

This signage in this photograph has been “adjusted” to reflect the recent (11/15/22) rebranding of Port Covington urban development project to the new name of Baltimore Peninsula.

I am busy going through dozens of pages and making them a bit more SEO “attractive” for the many visitors who will be searching for Baltimore Peninsula – the name of my site is South Baltimore Peninsula at SouthBaltimore.com. The project is not too shabby and is valued at 5.5 BILLION dollars over the next several years.

Yes, I do have related Baltimore and Fort McHenry and Chesapeake Bay “collections” in my FAA gallery. I am not unhappy at having no spare time for the next couple of weeks. My main interests these day lies in my art photography. I enjoy shooting photographs of locations, both near and far, and also enjoy marketing and selling the wall art I create.
