Twitter Link Roundup #250 – The very best ideas about Small Business, Startups, and Design!
With the new year, our thoughts at crowdSPRING invariably focus on what we have in excess: winter, winter, winter. And with winter comes our favorite team outing of the year: Skiing! Check out the beautiful video above and perhaps you’ll be inspired to join in, too
And now, properly primed for the cold New Year, it’s time for our weekly roundup! Great links and articles we shared with you over the past week on our crowdSPRING Twitter account (as well as my own Twitter account). We do like to talk about logo design, web design, startups, entrepreneurship, small business, leadership, social media, marketing, economics and other interesting stuff! I hope you enjoy!
