Great compilation and commentary which makes it even more useful. Might be good to make each of the profiles links. A little more work but makes this post immensely more powerful as others will refer to it often and send people there when getting started on Twitter if they can get to the account with one click through.
ReplyDeleteActually, there is a Twitter account for a La Barra KC (@LaBarraKC) though I'm not sure if they're connected to the actual group though they do link to FB group often.
ReplyDeleteThanks, changed it up
