If an advice column on Social Media is more than six months old, it is likely outdated. New updates/roll-outs to these sites are happening at such a frequent rate, with massive changes to the content/layout on a site, that what was once a gem of an idea to drive greater traffic is now not supported by the new features.
New sites & start-ups/apps come along frequently, as well, making it difficult to keep up. On top of that, the app/website of the moment may just be a flash in the pan that will ultimately be a waste of your resources.
So how do you stay on top of it all? Follow the right people. It’s “Follow Friday” in the Twitter universe, so take a moment to update yourself & your strategy:
