Valuable Stuff from the Twitter Stream - 1


Hi, Everyone,
I’m going to start posting some of the valuable info and advice I’ve been retweeting on Twitter. Since there is so much great stuff, I’ll break this up into several posts, starting with the most recent and going backwards.  Your comments are always welcome.  I’ll also post the tweets about Israeli startups. As always, you are encouraged to send me your tweets – 128 characters including spaces. These are being retweeted by my colleagues in the US, Israel, and other places. You are welcome to follow me: @arlenemarom  - and if you send me your Twitter IDs, I’ll be happy to follow you.
All the best,
Arlene Marom


Here’s one for fun!
