Guía de Twitter para periodistas: Twitter como medio no como fin | Pulsosocial El popular servicio de microblogging, Twitter, lanzó recientemente una guía que puede ayudar a los periodistas a ejercer su profesión utilizando los beneficios de estar conectados con personas alrededor de todo el mundo a través de este espacio.
