This is an updated version of a blog that ran in 2015.

One part of my role as AAMA’s Communications Coordinator is to monitor a range of industry news sites for information that may be worth sharing with our members. I do this by subscribing to a number of industry newsletters, signing up for Google Alerts for key terms and checking out their websites regularly. And luckily, most of those sites have excellent, frequently updated Twitter accounts, too. I follow several industry news accounts on Twitter so I can scan AAMA’s Twitter feed with ease to see what’s new.

Here are five residentially-focused industry news Twitter accounts I love, and five commercially-geared ones. If you’re interested in keeping up to date, I recommend you follow them, too.

Residential

• @WindowDoorMag: This account for Window & Door magazine serves the entire fenestration industry, including manufacturers, distributors and dealers.
• @DWMmag: Door & Window Market (DWM) magazine is a publication for manufacturers, dealers and distributors in the door, window, mouldings and millwork market.
• @RetrofitMag: Retrofit is a magazine for building owners, managers and professionals interested in renovation of commercial buildings and systems.

Commercial

• @glassonweb: This account shares news, articles, products, companies, classifieds, discussions and more from the flat glass industry.

Take a look at these accounts and the kinds of things they tweet about. If their posts are of interest and value to you, follow them. Maybe they’ll follow you back, and share your news, too.
