CRM on Twitter: February 2010

“Know how to listen,” Plutarch supposedly suggested, “and you will profit even from those who talk badly.” Even a not-for-profit organization can benefit from that advice, and many seem to be practicing it on Twitter. We’ve collected a few relevant tweets below—including some by people and organizations quoted in this month’s cover story, “Helping Hands." CRM magazine can be found at www.twitter.com/CRM; live-twittering and links to blogposts are at www.twitter.com/destinationCRM. Reach us directly by starting your tweet with @CRM.
