Today I thought I would share two helpful and easy-to-use Twitter tools. TwtrFrnd is a really simple but very useful app created by @adrianwinter that shows you which followers you have in common with another tweep.

I’m taking a break from design-talk today in order to give some social networking advice to small businesses. The advice is this: When you read a statistic related to “social media” that just blows you away, try to read the original study.
