Hey Robert,
Just wanted to stop by and say it's nice to be following you! Hope all is well and make sure to have an awesome weekend
Mike, thanks for following me. A fast question for you since you commented on a Twitter digest page – Does a blog post with my twitter feed provide value to you?
A little background, I did it for two reasons. A) I wanted to capture all the links I was sharing without having to take extra steps bookmarking, etc. B) The Google Search widget on my blog gives me quick access to pages where I have mentioned specific products people (it's just not useful for general topics like “marketing” where the item appears on every post I write.
Any thoughts?
