News and views from the leader in Online Performance Marketing

Often, one of the biggest roadblocks to successful business blogging is finding the time to write posts. If you’re struggling with this challenge, but you and some of your team members are already Tweeting (micro-blog) business-related topics and updating your business Facebook fan page and other social media sites, here’s an idea for you:

“Curate” your real-time content by topic from Twitter and other social media status updates onto new pages or blog posts for your website.
