Advertisements on Twitter? Does it make a difference?
Leave a comment Go to comments
This week Twitter, my favorite social network, announced its advertising model: promoted tweets. Exciting? Maybe, if you are a marketer.

Twitter: My Filter

Many of my digital native peers find the idea of reading what unknown people have for breakfast pointless. However, we like the idea of sharing everything, or almost everything, we do with the world. But we are afraid that [...]
