Christmas is coming, and people are still tweeting about Excel – at home, at work, and at school. I’ve had a busy week, but no, that wasn’t me sobbing into my pivot table. And which functions would you use at a bachelor party? Never mind, I’d rather not know!

If you still wonder what value there is in Twitter, you might find Bill Winterberg’s article interesting: Yes, Twitter Can Help Financial Planners. Of course, I'm slightly biased, because he mentions me in the article.
