Volume 2, No. 2: Twitter for the Tire Industry, Part 1
Kurt takes you on a guided tour to get your
business started on Twitter. We also review
upcoming changes to the website, and our
recommendations for upgrading your browser.
Get Firefox
Our top recommendation as best browser, especially
if your computer is a little on the old/slow side.
Upgrade to IE8
If you have to stick with Microsoft, you need to have the latest
version. Not the best, but better than IE6.
