		<description>Hi, Jody. Thanks for the inquiry re my Cardthartic Twitter biz success. The cool thing is the absolute lack of expectation to garner such a positive. Knowing there was nowhere to which I could direct traffic, the authenticity had to be the 140-character message.  

I see so many direct sales efforts as offensive (teeth dudes, make $millions) because the sincerity is absent. 

That said, this effort to integrate social media with Web marketing is a first for this company. I&#039;m helping drive that at a snail&#039;s pace. A greeting card company with amazing products as Cardthartic offers MUST rely on a Web marketing plan to stave off market obstacles: postage, texting, Internet, price of paper, etc.

Traditionally a slow-to-adopt, lean publisher, Cardthartic will eventually get there. The initial thrust, under my tutelage, am hopeful will be the Facebook Fan Page, Twitter and new blog.

I&#039;d love to take this viral when the Web site goes up...you know, a virtual launch party!  

More as Mark permits!  Thank you, Mark, for permitting this little ditty. @Soulati</description>

		<description>I&#039;d love to hear more about her first authentic sale from twitter.    

It&#039;d also be great to read a follow-up after the new web site is launched and up for a while (I think it&#039;s still the old one?).  How is social integrated with the new site?  What&#039;s the feedback loop?  Did it change the conversations happening on twitter?

You know, how did it {grow}? ;)</description>
