Twitter isn’t just for fun. It’s big business, being used to drive traffic and generate buzz and conversions for companies. But remember: Twitter is opt-in, which means if you get even a little bit spammy people will un-follow, or worse, push back with negative tweets that could damage your company’s reputation. This session explores the finer points using Twitter as a business tool, and how to get more from this important source of referrals.
