Does Twitter do a business good? Princeton TweetUp Edition

Business name: check. Business email: check. Business website: check. Business Twitter account? Um, eh, well...

Social networking can be overwhelming. Between Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, this new form of networking and marketing can be confusing and time consuming, but I'm telling you: it's worth the effort.

Each Tuesday, I've been sharing a sampling of some New Jersey companies, organizations and entrepreneurs who have embraced Twitter and made the social networking site work well for business.

This week is a special focus. If you are a NJ Tweep, you may have seen buzz talk about the "Princeton Professionals TweetUp at Salt Creek Grille(@SCGPrinceton) in Princeton" You may have even learned about it from today's Princeton Packet article. It's definitely a can't miss opportunity to meet a "Who's Who" of Princeton area businesses and entrepreneurs who either Tweet for business or want to learn. Below, you'll hear from Debbie Schaeffer, CEO of Mrs G TV and Appliances and see a listing of BizTweeps in attendance.

There is still time to RSVP for the event. Either send me an email or find me or Stacey Katz (my "partner in crime") on Twitter at @MrsMoNJ or @RealtorGirlNJ.
