			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twitter is all the rage.  Literally.  Every blog I visit has Twitter being promoted.  &#8220;Follow me on Twitter&#8221; buttons, Twitter feed live on their blog, posts about tips for Twitter; simply put, Twitter has inundated the blogosphere.  Rightfully so, I might add.  It&#8217;s a great way to network with others and an even more effective viral marketing tool.  Since Twitter is a hot topic, It seems only right to have a weekend wrap up completely devoted to Twitter related posts.  Below are some articles that I found helpful.</p>
<p>I hope that everyone enjoys reading up on Twitter and had a wonderful weekend!</p>
