My new favorite use for Twitter

Posted by Frank Rumbauskas on November 30, 2009 · 2 Comments 

I’m going to be honest here: I’m not the world’s biggest Twitter fan. Sure, it’s a nice way to supplement my email lists, but it’s not a replacement for them. It’s an easy way to share my opinions or break news to my followers, but it sure doesn’t replace my blogs. Or, again, those trusty email lists, the real lifeblood of any internet marketing business.
