Here’s a great story I wanted to share with you, straight from the Omaha World Herald: farmers are now taking to the social networking airways to tell their stories and to combat negative publicity that occasionally pops up in their industry. This story is a great example of how the new social networking tools can be used by ANY business, and can be a powerful force in telling your story to the world.

If farmers can tweet from their tractors, you’d think it would be even easier for a business owner to tweet from their desk, or a retailer from their front register, wouldn’t you?

By the way, I am now also tweeting at http://twitter.com/DestinationU. My promise to those of you who connect: I will not be tweeting about what I am eating, nor will I be tweeting purposeless drivel, like many other tweeters.
