Twitter Link Roundup #208 – Small Business, Startups, Innovation, Social Media, Design, Marketing and More

These posts and videos are about logo design, web design, startups, entrepreneurship, small business, leadership, social media, marketing, and more! Here are some of the links that I’ve liked and shared this past week!
