This Week’s Most Popular Tweets – Our New Weekly Blog Post

We share a lot of information through Twitter. Everyday we’re sending out tweets about valuable resources, interesting articles, and latest industry happenings. But not everyone uses Twitter, so we’re starting a weekly blog post that summarizes the most popular tweets from the previous week.

Since this is the first post, we’re covering tweets from June 26 – July 7. Moving forward, we’ll publish the post at the beginning of each week for the previous week.
