We’ve now learnt all the essentials of twitter – hashtags, the @ symbol, retweeting, liking, and inserting links and images into our tweets. For our final tutorial I thought I would share my favourite networking hours with you, so that you can put into practice all the things we’ve learnt over the course of the 4 lessons.
My Favourite Networking Hours
