Social Media Tweets Worth Reading
Even experts admit they are always trying to figure out social media, so it is great when they get together to share their expertise with each other to better know what is and is not working with online marketing.
The LIMRA LOMA Social Media Conference for Financial Services, recently held in Boston, seems to be one of the best, if not the best conference that is 100 percent focused on social media for financial service firms and others. One fact supporting the conference's strength was the amazing number of quality tweets throughout the conference -- maybe a financial services world record.
