Introducing Twitter to Facebook Friends

I’ve got quite a few friends on Facebook, most are friends, family, co-workers or fellow business people in my local community. One comment I have received is, “Wow, you sure do spend a lot of time on Facebook!” Want to know a secret? I don’t spend as much time as you think. Almost all of [...]
