@DavidSpinks If you're not seeing results, it's probably
not twitter's fault, it's how you're using it. That's ok.
Reevaluate why you're there and apply.

@mooshinindy Be yourself on twitter. People will either
love you or hate you for it but at least it's you.

might consider Tweeting about it yourself.
@appellatelaw

rounded, not flat or static. So be well rounded (or appear
to be).

work.

building and trust. Use it wisely and people will get that.
Please don't try to sell to me.
82. #81
@coffee_online If it smells of marketing then you're
going to convince no-one. That includes spraying fake
camouflage scent to cover your tracks
83. #82

and with a strong ROI filter
