Promoting your blog with Twitter

Social media phenomenon Twitter so revolutionized the landscape of social media services that Twitter followers no longer just tweet inanely about what they ate for breakfast or their favorite steak recipe. Twitter followers today are the heavyweights of the corporate world, popular media celebrities, and anybody who is anybody in all corners of the globe. This social media behemoth is a 24x7 hub of unceasing information exchange, socialization, and lucrative business marketing.
