Can I Tweet a White Paper?

At 140 characters per tweet, you may be able to order a cup of coffee at Starbucks, but it’s not enough for a thorough technology explanation via a White Paper. I bring it up because after a review of content onAutomationWorld.comover the last two years, the White Paper is the number one Web-based resource on our site.

And one of the great things about our White Papers onAutomationWorld.com, is that we can deliver them to your desktop via RSS feeds. Visitwww.myenum.com/RSSand click on the White Paper button to subscribe. Pick your reader (Google Reader is excellent) and voila, new White Papers. Enjoy.
