Glad you enjoyed the video I also want to give props to how I found the video because the method is very relative to what the video above represents. I logged into my twitter account this morning checked out #nhtweetup, then found this #SMMUNH which is the tag for a new social media class at UNH, and finally found the video tweeted by one of the students in the class @joeshartzer. I find the connectivity and relevant connectivity I can achieve so quickly with Twitter and Facebook simply astounding! Businesses need to start taking as much advantage of this as soon as possible, the cost to get involved is low, and the potential rewards you can reap are HUGE. Thanks for sharing the video.
