Twitter Chat Rooms
In the "What will they think of next?" department, you'll find the latest way to participate in a topic of interest or to bring up one of your own. It could be another way to build an audience. "Twitter chat is a guided conversation where users interested in a particular topic hop onto the service to chat. ...there are dozens of scheduled chats that take place every week," according to a Small Business Trends article.
Don't Let Those Testimonials Go to Waste
If you're like me, you're getting nice feedback from your customers. One way to share that is by getting them to post on your Google Places page. If you don't have one yet, you might want to set one up. It's free.
