3.-Scroll down:
a) Type the name, last name and email of the person that you will recommend or
b) Click on the link "select from your connections list" and select it from your list
c) Choose the relationship between you and the endorsed person
d) Hit the button "Continue"

The next window will show you some choices about the person you will recommend and a text box at the end for you to write something about her/him.

Twitter is a Smart Marketer’s Dream

Laid off people are finding jobs with Twitter.  Grandma’s are Tweeting to granddaughters.  College students are Tweeting back and forth in the classroom.  Twitter is everywhere, from the kids in the skate park to the senior reporter at National Public Radio.  It’s only a matter of time before we here about the first marriages between folks who met on Twitter.

Twitter is the big story.  Millions of users.  Millions more to come.  It’s growing fast and it’s being used for every purpose under the sun.  That means there’s a place for you on Twitter even if your girlfriend isn’t an actress, you haven’t witnessed a disaster and you’re not looking for a job.

Here’s a hint.  Millions of people.  Interests of all sorts.  Easy to make connections.  Pushbutton simple to share a link with the world.

Are you putting this all together?  It’s a smart marketer’s dream.  When we first started thinking about the potential of social networking as a marketing tool, we couldn’t have dreamed up a better scenario.

Get busy.
