- Date: Sep 6,2009
Twitter has come a long way in the past 3 years. To start off you could tell your friends that eggs were poached that morning, you can now share links, tweet within a specified subject matter, and keyword search the latest and tweets on your selected matter. Why is this special?
Google, uses complex algorithms to sort the internet. Twitter uses people you know to tell you what is on the internet. Which is better? Time will tell…
Shop sites can promote their products through it, you can share links to worthy reads through it, and help bring traffic to your blog with Twitter.
As Blog Monies is all about blogging for money to hopefully go into business yourself and Wordpress is my favourite CMS, the following is my Top 52 list as we come to the end of 2009.
