13th April 2011 was a exciting day in the twittersphere. It was a One Day For Design — an open, global dialogue on the meaning and future of design, and on the meaning and future of professional associations in our field. Organised by AIGA, the ‘event’ drew over 30,000 tweets from nearly 3,900 Twitterers. More than 650 hashtags were tweeted and at one point #1d4d ranked as the number-four trending hashtag on Twitter in the United States.
