MORE Youth Media & Marketing Folks To Follow On Twitter
Posted by meredith on 04-16-2009Last month we posted an open invitation to youth media and marketing folks on Twitter, encouraging them to add their own or others' account names to the abridged list of "tweeps" we posted. We were happy to see so many of you take us up on the offer and to show our appreciation, today we're keeping our word to follow up with another installment of folks to follow.
And if you didn't have the chance to make a comment the last time around, don't despair! Post your suggestion in comments, and we'll be sure to include you or your brand in the next round!
If you're planning on attending the Ypulse Youth Marketing Mashup in June, the folks at Modern Media (the publishers of Ypulse) are putting on a conference called TWTRCON focused on using Twitter as a business tool on May 31st (right before Ypulse) at the Hotel Nikko.
And, if you aren't already among the nearly 1,500 currently following Ypulse on Twitter, start today!
