    These are some great tips on how to keep active on Social Media and how to utilize it effectively. At 3 Birds Marketing we believe that social media is a key way to maintain a conversation with customers. Particularly helpful is tip #7, to use a Twitter service that allows you to "set it and forget it." HootSuite is a great source for this, and it makes our clients' Twitter accounts seem current for a long-term period without having to set aside points in the day or week to continue updating the account. Great article!

    These are great starting tips that I sincerely appreciate as we have been a little lost with using Twitter effectively. Right now we see no effective way to gain client interactions from it but then again our efforts are mainly B2B.
