I am new to Twitter but quickly realizing its power and popularity. It’s the latest buzz right now!
Thanks for this post. It made many parts of Twitter clearer to me. Given the fact that social network marketing has become very prevalent in business these days, it is not something to be ignored. Marketing is exciting and I think the more methods one can find, the better!
Social network marketing is an inobtrusive, friendly way to marketing oneself – and I like this. The old “sell, sell, sell; buy, buy, buy” forceful marketing tactics are becoming more and more a thing of the past.
