Twitter Mentions Are The New You’ve Got Mail & Celebrity Autograph
Yes, I sleep with my phone and check my @ mentions anytime I’m mildly awake in the middle of the night. Don’t judge or act like you don’t either. Twitter mentions are the new “You’ve Got Mail.” The excitement from seeing the @ symbol light up is like Christmas morning!

Why Social Media Isn’t A Waste Of Time [Infograhic]

Olly & Molly Twitter Bots Will Reward Retweets With Smell & Candy
Each retweet is always special in a way. It all depends on who retweets you, what they retweet, and also of course at what time it is retweeted.

Sweet Tweet: A Bubblegum Reward For Adding Twitter Followers

Social Media Sharing: Who Shares Where Online [Infographic]
I gotta be honest with you, I'm getting a little burned out on infographics.

Creative Library Ads: A Twist On Facebook, Twitter & YouTube
Maybe I sound like a nerd, but libraries used to be such a fun place to hang out back in the mid '90s.
