Twitter Strategy of a Minnesota Mom

October 8, 2009 By 2 Comments

It’s no secret that I love and use Twitter everyday. It is also no secret that when I first heard of it, I thought it was the stupidest idea I had ever heard. That’s why I have no problem understanding why people don’t get Twitter. To be honest, I don’t know many people personally who actively use Twitter. I do, however, have many friends and family ask me dozens of questions about Twitter. Therefore, I thought it would be helpful to explain how I use Twitter. My hope is that anyone can adapt and use Twitter for a more enjoyable and successful experience.
