tweet# tweet# tweet# by Suzanne Bates - May, 2011 Perhaps recently you’ve been in a conversation with business friends when the topic of Twitter comes up. It usually goes something like this. “I don’t get this Twitter thing. What’s the point?” “Who has time?” “Tweet, twit, I don’t even know the terminology.” “You know it is interesting, I just don’t know what the business application would be.” “One of those passing fads.” Now comes news from Wall Street t... |
