I started a website business and knew social media was a must do however, twitter was not on my list of sites to use. Why? My reasoning for avoided the site...who cares what I'm doing during the course of my day. After reading Renegades I have a whole new perspective on the subject of Twitter and have to admit that there is something to it that makes sense. The book was a good read although I thought it could have been shortened much like those drawn out 1 hour tv shows. Don't get me wrong it was still a very good read and very enlightening. Bottom line is that it made a believer out of someone who said ....I'm not wasting my time with this useless nonsense,
