Start checking your inbox, you will soon find a Twitter Digest. On Monday, May 14, 2012, Twitter announced a new feature where users will have the option of receiving a weekly email digest in their inbox featuring top stories and tweets in their network. This new feature for Twitter should be available to all users over the next couple weeks (I just received mine today).

All you do is click on any headline and it will take you to the full article or story.

By leveraging this simple tool, savvy financial advisors will be able to utilize Twitter for client acquisition, as well as other business development and marketing activities without spending much time on the social network itself.
