Twitter

Twitter is a social Web site that allows its members to share small 140-character snippets about news and current events, daily activities, special events and anything else users can think to fit into 140 characters. The message

appears on an individuals phone. In addition, Ms. Blanquera will share tools you should know about to make the most of Twitter for your business.

Facebook for Business

Facebook is a phenomenon that has grown exponentially in a very short time and continues to do so. It was originally used mostly by college students to keep in

touch with high school pals, but now recent statistics prove that it has moved beyond its original use and has become an incredibly powerful business networking medium. If you’re still not sold on this (not entirely convinced that Facebook networking offers great potential to help your company grow and reach new business contacts), you will find some reasons why you can’t afford to ignore Facebook as a networking tool.
