Vendor Marketing Tip: 6 Faster Ways to Use Social Media

Social media can eat up your time if you're not careful. Leo Babauta is an author who provides tips to stay efficient: Stick to simple tools, send only high-impact messages, learn to scan, stick with the most valuable social networks, form valuable relationships and manage time wisely.

Part of the reason why I created BridalTweet was I realized that vendors were effectively connecting with strangers on Twitter but they weren't able to form deeper, valuable relationships due to Twitter's 140 character limit. BridalTweet helps deepen those connections that are made on sites like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

I love Barbauta's advice on how to stay efficient and simplify your social media routine. To view his advice, go to: http://mashable.com/2009/05/14/social-media-routine/
