December was a big month for VerticalResponse and our Twitter account was no less busy. Our top ten tweets of the month are determined by a combination of clicks, retweets, and favorites, and provide an excellent picture of the kinds of information you and your marketing peers are hungry for. It will come as no surprise that our 2nd most popular tweet this month was about the big announcement of our new product, Roost. Interestingly enough, though, not a single holiday-themed tweet even scratched the top ten. I guess y’all are over it! Instead, social media, startups, and how-to’s topped our month. Here are the top ten tweets that small business owners, entrepreneurs, and marketers were most interested in to wrap up 2011:
