Cross-Culture Tweets – Week 29 of 2009

Culture Tips & International Links

Here is a quick summary of what I have been doing on social media strategies this past week. You will find a list of this week’s tweets below.

Week In Review

This past week was an easy summer week at work.  This is what I did:

• Tweaked the new social media marketing plan to suit my schedule
• Tested group Twitter tools

Last week I also spent a large amount of time dealing with a series of administrative glitches only encountered in France.  This inspired my guest post on Ego:

• Where Is The Best Country To Have A Small Business?

Next week I  begin tweeting on multiple Twitter accounts.
