If you know me very well, you know that I love Twitter. I’m on there a little bit every day… Sometimes I’m on there more than a “little bit”…. sometimes I’m on there a lot. I used Twitter to document my nephew’s field trips, road trips with my friends, and even to complain about the [...]
If you’re on Twitter, then you know that Friday is the day to give shout-outs to the people you think are cool, noteworthy, or worth following.

In The Chicken Bucket Personal Brand Theory: What’s Your Nugget?, Gwen compares the levels of personal branding to a chicken nugget, bucket of chicken, and the full course chicken dinner.
