Using Twitter to Boost Knowledge
I didn't use Twitter until April 2010. I had an account for at least a year prior, but, like most people, I didn't find it useful. My friends and family weren't on it - and I communicated with them on Facebook. Then, a co-worker who adored Twitter convinced me to try it differently. More
