Are You Engaging?
In recent interview with The Weekender (pick up a copy this week to read the story by Donna Talarico), I was asked about what kinds of posts I find to be most useful on Twitter. Hmm…good question. To me, inspirational quotes or little tidbits of knowledge are always the most useful. If you get me […]
