Creative Ways Your Business Can Use Twitter Every Day

Social Media
Microblogging sites are a great way to get more attention for your business. They're easy to use, and they force you to keep your message short, sweet, and to the point. So what is a microblogging site? A microblog is a site like Twitter or Tumblr that acts as a social media site which allows you to blog but limits the length of your posts.
