Cross-Culture Tweets – Week 31 of 2009
Last week friends visited from abroad. The weather was great, so it was a week of “chilling out”, long walks and rock climbing in the forest of Fontainebleau, a 5 minute walk from the house.
The only progress I made on social media was to improve the writing process I use to write my blog posts. The extra submissions to social bookmarking sites such as BizSugar was taking up a little bit too much time. Spending an extra minute or two when writing my blog post makes it faster to submit articles to social bookmarking faster sites. Re-purposing content plays an important role in carrying out my social media strategy. More about this in a longer article next week.
Here are the tweets from last week:
