It’s a good mix of coach-speak, highlights, community service footage, and cheerleader features. I got hooked on the Star Tribune Twolves message board in 2002 and haven’t looked back.

Same with the message board trolls, who are all too easy to overlook in favor of bloggers and Twitterers. 2- So what we do for clients is we would identify the 100's to 10 000's relevant and influential people in a given community (topic/vertical/ around a passion) and 3- Then we would map back their customer database.
