In a previous blog I said I was unsure how Twitter could help me and my garden design business on the basis that it is essentially a “social network”. The concept of networking and personal referrals was an area completely alien to me until [...]

I have recently been introduced to this exciting online networking application. My initial thoughts were that it was of little importance as a business tool. Many of the postings seemed to be about walking the dog or what people were having for tea – not too inspiring! The reason for this is that Twitter is [...]
