Yep, I know that you are effective on using twitter for almost all other four points mentioned here ;) Somehow, for the socializing part, I am feeling restricted by twitter. Perhaps I am yet to get the hang of things.@Dina, thanks for pitching in and I am glad that you guys are pretty active on many blogs and channels like Twitter. No wonder why we almost always get a comment or two as soon as Market Leverage is getting a mention :lol: @Husssein, so my presumption was right… traffic generation to the blog and publicizing new posts are definitely one of the great Twitter usages.
