Found a very helpful article, from Small Biz Survival, entitled, "Filtering Twitter: Going from mostly noise to all conversation." Yes please! It gives great ideas of using Tweetdeck and Hootsuite and filter settings to reduce the amount of NOISE we all see in Twitter all the time: automatic tweets and thank yous, broadcast announcements, and cross-posts from Facebook. It can get hard to find the good things from all the weight of STUFF that pours out every day.

Are You a Business Owner? 4 Steps to a Social Media Plan
1) Figure out exactly who your market is
