Twitter can be a powerful channel in B2B technology marketing, second only to LinkedIn.

@ mentions and hashtags (#) have been a big part of Twitter since its launch, but can feel like they’re using up a tweet’s valuable character count when a tweet may need to contain a shortened URL and a picture link (tweets with images can receive 150% more retweets that tweets without images).
