I don’t know anyone in the U.S. who is working today, unless they’re in retail, so I’m going to do a recap of the #FollowFriday recommendations in 2012.
It’s been a while since I did one of these so there are a lot here. But, with all the links, I’ve made it nice and easy for you to read, follow, fan, connect with, and subscribe.
My personal favorite, of course, is #18, but I invite you to scroll through and choose three to five people you don’t already know. Connect with them, introduce yourself, and do some networking.
Happy “we can now talk about Christmas now” day!
