Picture This
You’re scrolling through your Facebook feed, past pictures of babies and videos of puppies, and political screeds, and you come across a graphic from your favorite coffee shop.

Lots of the Twitter advice out there says to “be yourself!” and “post in the moment!” Yes, on your social media you should be you -- absolutely share your personality, your sense of humor, and what inspires you. If something cool is happening in your store or office, Tweeting it live can be fun. Twitter is quick and snappy; the average lifespan of a Tweet is less than 20 minutes.
