I’ve been putting off joining for ages, because I should be doing lots of other important things: sales, trademarking yours2share, my accounts, newsletters, pitching ideas to TV companies. But fiddling around with more software is always enticing. I’ve worked out how to feed my tweets into [...] yours2share is free to use and maintaining this is one of our major objectives.
