We have created a short ebook to help you understand the basics of Vine and to start using it for your business to help generate leads, and to give you an even deeper connection to your customers.

I wrote a blog about social media complaints and how to handle them some time ago now. This is a more platform specific piece centering on Twitter. There have been some HORRIFIC examples of how to deal with social media complaints over the last couple of years but I have noticed some this week that have been quite good / bad!
