How To: Have Fun Going Tweet Shopping
I have a confession to make. I hate shopping. I know it's strange since many women love to go to the mall, but not me. I live in a big city (Atlanta). To me, the driving, parking, traffic and crowds are just not worth it. Like a lot of Americans, I do most of my shopping online.
However, there is ...
