Everybody these days is crazy about Twitter, especially marketers. And, they should be. In this blog, I will explore many of the possible uses for Twitter and why it is a relevant and important marketing tool.

So which agencies will survive and even thrive over the next 5 years? We believe that it will be the agencies that think Twitter and Facebook first, not TV.
