Businesses often ask us how to effectively use social media to promote themselves.  So much depends on the business but I want to illustrate one effective use that came to my attention today. Yesterday, a Twitter friend asked if anyone knew where to get mass-produced souvenir key chains he could brand with his logo that had a 24-hour turnaround time.  A quick Google search later and I had found a company who offered such a service so I sent him a message on Twitter with the companies URL. Today, while in the midst of many other things, I received a reply message from who else?  The company I had recommended.
