If you have teenagers…Well, let’s be fair: If you have any connection to the social media world, I’m sure you’ve heard of Twitter. For all the hype though, I’d have to say the greater power of Twitter has been neglected – the power of word of mouth.

In 140 characters, you have the power to communicate with millions (or however many followers you might obtain).
