So you’ve gone along with the latest social network trends and have set up a Twitter account for your business and you’re tweeting away. If you’re updating regularly—say between three to six times a day—then you most likely have a decent following. And if you’re using Twitter effectively, then you’ve hopefully found a few people to follow
And that’s fine. But we’ve found that many Twitter users we know want to find even better ways of connecting with other Twitterers in their area.
