#greattweets

This article is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to learn how to upgrade their Twitter skills. The article talks about things from the timing of tweets to what tweets get the most amount of interaction. It wasn’t surprising to me see that links were the most interactive tweets in the game, but it WAS surprising to me to see that “Discounts and Promos” accounted for 94% of a twitter following. I would have never thought the majority of accounts people followed would be about shopping/buying. 

Each week we'll be featuring some of the greatest and latest Great Streets and urban planning-related tweets. Keep the dialogue going by Tweeting at us @lagreatstreets​ and using the tag #lagreatstreets. 

Here's what caught our eye this week:
