    Lissa – this post is great! I love how you did it in the 12 days of Christmas format! :-)

    I haven’t heard of TweetBoard so I’m totally checking that one out!

    BTW, if you blog often with Twitter ids and use WordPress you will save yourself a ton of time with the plugin Twittify – then you don’t have to enter in their http://www.twitter.com/name as the redirect! Somehow, magically, the plugin does all the work for you – you just type in @theirname and it does everything else!

    @mmangen

    To your success in 2010!

    Great tips, Lissa. As part of Know Your Brand, I would add “speak to your target audiences”. Also adding some real-world, in-person networking to the mix is always helpful for long-term lead building.

    Best wishes for 2010 – make it a great year!
