[BONUS FAIL TIPS]
Crowdsourcing FTW
https://medium.com/message/nobody-famous-37790cb4d014
Celebrities are the same as other users
of twitter. They don't like the 'teaspoon dipped
into the Mississippi River' aspect of twitter: that
they're always missing so much of their feed.
And it's the same for them when it comes to
retweeting: if you want something retweeted, than
post something retweetable! And of course what
they like is the reach, immediacy and brevity of
the platform.”
-- Rob Gregory, CRO of WhoSay
