Magnus Hultberg commented on Ryan Sides's blog post 3 Tips for Choosing Which Social Media Site Is Best for Your Restaurant"@ryan - yes, the Twitter app is brilliant. Definitely a "best in breed". I tend to use HootSuite a lot, on desktop and mobile, but that's mainly because I am used to the interface and because I use Twitter lists extensively to divide…"
Ryan Sides commented on Ryan Sides's blog post 3 Tips for Choosing Which Social Media Site Is Best for Your Restaurant"@magnus - thanks for reading and for the comment. I too fill my lag time with mobile time. :) To be honest though, I truly dislike the fb mobile app. I use safari and go to the desktop version. The app is too restrictive for pages. It's great…"

- I teach restaurants and retailers how to build repeat business and find new customers online through sites like facebook, foursquare, twitter, and YouTube. After working as a manager for a few years in the restaurant industry, I know first-hand the time crunch that owners are under. They wear many hats and marketing is usually not their main concern. I can help reduce that burden.
