Follow Friday - Who Wants Some on Twitter ?
Do you tweet? Do you like Fridays? Do you want to reach more people ?
Whether it be to expand your network of friends, educate others on your ideas, inform people about your business, raise money for your charity, promote your event, or you want to know who else is on Twitter other than Ashton Kutcher, Follow Friday is a cool practice that folks on Twitter like to follow to help them spread the word about each other. We are putting together a quick guide to who is Northwest Indiana is on Twitter and what they have to offer or share. If you are on, email us your Twitter name, and a sentence or two about who you are, why you would like to reach out to more people, and anything else you think may be interesting. We'll take that input and keep updating this little mini-directory of folks to help you spread the word.

Just one more reason to like Fridays I guess.
