Episode Summary:
This week I am joined by a very special guest, my good friend David Smith. Dave took the liberty of doing some terrific research on the hype surrounding Twitter and even created a fantastic infographic on it. Dave and I have a fascinating discussion about all things Twitter and end off with where the social network may go in the future. We hope you enjoy the conversation! (Runtime: 41:51)
