Being Active on Twitter is Paying Off

this week stats via twittercounter

This week I decided to be more active on Twitter and so far I must admit that is paying off. I met a lot of new interesting people, had great conversations publicly and privately via DMs (direct messages), and got a bunch of new #FF (follow friday) at the end of the week.

I’ll invest more time inTwitter from now on and if you want to join the party… get in touch with me @vascellari!
