Twitter for Marketing Today

Why is Twitter still important to businesses and what’s different?

You’ll discover why Brian suggests you consider Twitter as an information network instead of a social network. As a “human seismograph,” Twitter is both an inbound and outbound tool that can give you the information you need to execute successful business strategies.
