Kiplinger Article Review

"Tweet" can help grow your business
By Michael Doan

In this article i learned about how the new website Twitter has been spreading like wildfire. This website allows you to tweet with your friends and even celebs. It has grown becasue its like a form of texting but using the more advance computer technology we have today. I think twitter is a good and bad idea because like the article said it is easy and informal but with facebook and myspace and now this there are downfalls. Twitter is great for having a small business and also it is a good tool for trade shows and is useful. This is a webpage that started small and is now up and booming making millions. You see celebs tweeting, twitter on talk shows and t.v. Twitter is a new technology that was a good idea for those who dont have cell phones and want to catch up. also it can help people who have busnesses dicuss things informally.

D. Woods was a part of Danity Kane and was making money but still had to learn how to manage and save it. Even if you are a star and making decent money you need strategies to help manage it. When you make a lot of money like that and go spend it on a big house, clothes, and other things that aren't necessary it builds up and eventually lead to debt.

5. Get Insured
When the lady finally got her job and could afford for pay for her bills and kid and baby on the way finally she thought that if i have the money dont go out and spend spend spend on things that you donnt need start spending it on insurance: for you house, kids, youself, cars and more because if you do that and get insured if something ends up happening then you dont have to pay a lot more then you did if you did have insurance. Its being safe.

6. Do it Yourself
When the guy starts his own business sure you make good money because your the owner and are sometimes the only employee but you also have downfalls the nececities for the business and if more people work for you then you have to make sure they have what they need and are getting paid. So sure its nice to own your own business but there are certain downfalls
