Just in time for the holidays, we have a new recurring feature to announce: the Twit List.
What kind of posts will populate the Twit List? Twitter nitwits, naturally. Businesses and individuals that not only don’t ‘get’ Twitter, they do things so monumentally nit witty (nit twitty) that they make you wonder how they manage to dress themselves in the morning.
We have a few examples to illustrate this point.
Promoting your business on Twitter can be tricky. You don’t want to just spam folks with links to your blog posts, yet creating a personality for your brand has its drawbacks.
What if there was another way? Mass Relevance seems to have found one – and we have suggestions for a couple more.
Facebook and Twitter will continue to battle it out online – and although Facebook is still solidly in the lead as the place where businesses find more consumer interaction, Twitter isn’t too shabby either.
Here’s some additional support to share with your company when you try to tell them why tweeting in the New Year is essential - and getting on Facebook (if you aren’t there yet), makes sense too, of course!

Initially frowned upon – if not outright banned – the use of social media in the workplace is on the rise, as employers start to see the benefits of these tools and how they can be leveraged.
Figuring out how much social media is too much social media at work, when it comes to time spent on your personal Facebook page, Pinterest profile or Twitter feed, can be tricky.
That’s where we come in.
Here’s a comparison we never thought we’d make: the Pope is proving to be more Twitter-popular than pop culture tween icon Justin Bieber.
In his first full week on Twitter, Pope Benedict XVI is already scoring impressive stats.
A year is a long time, but it’s an eternity in social media.
Do you remember all the way back to January, when Pinterest was named the best new startup of 2011, and Facebook introduced Timeline? In May Facebook had their much-hyped IPO, August saw Instagram top Twitter for daily active users and in November, President Obama’s election victory message became the most retweeted Twitter post of all time.
Social media provides a number of benefits for brands of all shapes and sizes across almost every industry, such as raising awareness of products and services, boosting website traffic and driving sales.
But it isn’t all about marketing, as this medium is also a fertile source for research, and brands are quickly catching on – a recent survey revealed that 65 percent of firms rated “marketplace insight” as one of social media’s top perks.
Do you ever read those weekly police reports that local communities typically share in print or online? If you haven’t seen them, they tell you where burglaries, stolen cars and drunken disorderlies happen in (or near) your neighborhood. It’s a good way to know what areas of town to avoid late at night, really. Or a heads up to take extra precautions if crime is consistently happening nearby.

The 76th Precinct of the New York Police Department thinks so, it seems – and they’re taking action: They’re tweeting pictures of criminals.
If your company STILL isn’t on Twitter, we have some stats that may help you make the case to higher ups.
We told you earlier that 71 percent of users who receive positive customer support through a brand on a social channel go on to recommend them to their friends, but we know that isn’t enough hard data for some naysayers. But THIS should be:
