Using it increases the visibility and lifespan of special tweets. The process is simple. Go directly to your Twitter page or the user’s profile for the tweet you want to embed. Choose the tweet you want to share. Position your mouse pointer on the tweet. Click open. Click Details. Click Embed this tweet. If you don’t want to alter the code, use Ctrl-C (press ctrl and the letter “c” simultaneously) to copy it. If you want to control the position of the tweet (left, right, or center), simple click the appropriate alignment button and the code automatically changes.

Internet Marketing C.O.D.E. #SocialMedia Marketing Beyond Status Updates and 140 Characters. Social Media is quickly taking the place of traditional media, so shouldn’t there be a conscious effort to step up the INTERNET MARKETING game beyond just a Facebook post and 140 characters and link by way of Twitter.

We all have that one family member that just can't detach himself from technology. On that hypothetical beach vacation, this chap couldn't be bothered to peel his eyes off his Twitter feed and heaven forbid if you ask him to turn off his iPhone.

If you or someone you know tends to spend an entire vacation typing away and staring at backlit screens, it may be time for an intervention. Being "constantly connected" can take a toll on your health — we recommend cutting back on social media and tech usage when you're on vacation. Everyone needs a break. If you can't completely disconnect, your social media proficiency might come in handy when your family is trying to coordinate the trip.
