19 Must-Follow Twitter Accounts for Advertisers & Affiliates
Twitter remains one of the best ways to connect with like-minded professionals on the Web. Internet professionals tend to post news items that relate to their industries, as well as other information that matters to them (whether that’s about business, events, TV shows, their food, etc.).
It’s somewhat of a mix between LinkedIn and Facebook, where, a lot of it is about business, but there is some personal, Facebook element. Advertisers and affiliates who are looking for insights into their performance marketing networks or just want to see what matters to the people who are running them, should check out these 19 must-follow Twitter accounts:
