  • Infographic: What People Put Into Their Email Signatures
    The email signature is perhaps one of the most overlooked marketing opportunities out there. Everyone emails. Each email we send is an opportunity to share more about our brands. Do we do that?

    As the LA Times has also reported, a random group of Twitter users are unable to send out tweets from the Web because they’re getting a “Let’s get started” content box in the spot where they’d normally be able to write and send a tweet. And these folks are none too pleased about the change, […]
