Last week I wrote about marketing on facebook in the real-time web. The obvious question after that is, of course, what about marketing on other real-time sites like Twitter, Delicious, and what will be an otherwise growing list of sites that begin to adopt real-time or piggy back off the popularity. Sadly, there is no [...]
There’s a lot of different ways to use twitter, and a lot of services out there that work in conjunction with Twitter that most people don’t know about it.
