Twitter is still my favorite social media site. I’ve noticed that a lot of my friends are now using Instagram. I get frustrated when I see them tweet an Instagram link, rather post their photo to both sites.
Valley Fig Growers recently invited their Twitter followers to also follow them on Instagram. I did so, but I also asked them not to ignore their Twitter fans. They quickly reassured me, which I thought was an excellent example of how companies should use social media.
Social media awesomeness from @valleyfig! They know that tweeting Instagram URLs is a turn-off to Twitter followers. pic.twitter.com/ND2Qcgr1gj

The very next day, the fig folks kept their promise. They posted a photo of some great-looking fig lollipops to both Twitter and Instagram.
