The second round of #meme15 finished up last week and it’s time to see who participated. In total, there were fifteen people that participated in the event. If I’ve missed anyone, just leave a comment here and I’ll update this post.
As a refresher, #meme15 is dedicated to discussing and sharing tips and tricks for blogging and using social media. This can be from a personal or professional standpoint. The intent is that through these posts by myself and others will provide some insight into how to succeed in these areas. This month’s writing assignment was:
- Why should average Jane or Joe professional consider using twitter?
- What benefit have you seen in your career because of twitter?
