7 Best Twitter Accounts For Marketers to Follow

It’s easy to waste a lot of time on Twitter. 

The constantly updating feed, the easily digestible length of the posts, and how funny all the memes are all add up to make it a place where a couple minutes can quickly turn into a couple of hours. Fun to use does not always mean productive to be on—unfortunately for us all.
