Morning! Great post from WebWorkerDaily : How Twitter is a Communications Game Changer
As promised, in my list of “things that have me all worked up,” here is Thing #2: Let’s change how we write as an industry. As I was mulling this over, looking for ideas, inspiration, etc, the heavens opened and delivered me this from Bad Pitch, quoting Saul Hansell at the NYTimes.
