Remember the unspoken rule which says that you “shouldn’t automate your Twitter account”? We’ve all read that one before, but today I’d like to prove to you that you can actually automate your Twitter account…. with a little bit of creativity.

Now the latter sounds like a better reaction. In this post, I’ll include some case studies from real businesses and how they are responding to customers through different channels like Twitter, Youtube, and Yelp. I have also included a special video at the end of the post.
