“Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time”

I just got my dirty little paws on a copy of our new book Twitter Power from bestselling author and super nice guy Joel Comm.  I did a power read last night, and will be going back tonight to read it cover to cover.  From what I’ve seen so far, I’m very impressed.   I don’t often blog [...]
