Blogging Given the opportunity, I could spend every waking moment during the day managing my Twitter account. But I have other work to do. And every once in a while, I also have a life.

Blogging Hash tags are ways to denote an important tag word used in a Twitter update. The purpose in doing so is to build a community around a given tag word, which encourages more activity around a topic of interest.

Social Media Sharing media on Twitter is tricky, because there’s no direct way in which to do so. But linking to media is still an important task for building your brand on Twitter, as I was reminded of this weekend.
