With marketing messages and sponsored tweets flying through our streams, how can we keep Twitter a place for conversation and developing relationships?
I love Twitter.
I go to Twitter to relax, have fun, visit with friends — and yes, work!
I have worked hard to build my reach on Twitter and, with 18,000+ Twitter followers, it is a key piece of my social media strategy. To put it bluntly — it adds value to my advertising campaigns.
