Business Magazines on Twitter and Facebook

In our last About Business posting "Top 5 Social Networks for June 2010", we noted Facebook had more than 400 million members and Twitter more than 80 million. This represents a stunning potential and opportunity for Businesses and business marketing. Business magazines are employing Twitter and Facebook to reach, keep, and expand their audiences.
