Twitter Link Roundup #62 – Small Business, Social Media, Design, Copywriting, Marketing And More Ross | November 26th, 2010
Every day on the crowdSPRING Twitter account and on my own Twitter account, I post links to posts or videos I enjoyed reading or viewing. These posts and videos are about logo design, web design, startups, entrepreneurship, small business, leadership, social media, marketing, and more! Here are some of the links that I’ve liked and shared this past week!
The image above shows “Club Neverdie”, a virtual property in the game Entropia Universe. This past week, someone paid $335,000 to buy that virtual property. Sure, it has eight bio-domes, space docks, a stadium, club and mall. But it’s not real! More about this bizarre purchase in the “Other” section below.
