Can I Tweet a White Paper?

June 4, 2010
Well, the answer is no.
At 140 characters per tweet, you may be able to order a cup of coffee at Starbucks, but it’s not enough for a thorough technology explanation via a White Paper. I bring it up because after a review of content on AutomationWorld.com over the last two years, the White Paper is the number one Web-based resource on our site.And one of the great things about our White Papers on AutomationWorld.com, is that we can deliver them to your desktop via RSS feeds.
