Here's the latest installment of “Key Tweets,” a (usually) weekly post that presents some of my tweets (or retweets) from the week, including pictures and other interesting stuff. I sometimes also re-share items that I've posted on LinkedIn.
You can follow me @MarkGraban and join the fun and the conversation, but you don't need a Twitter account to view any of this.
