Top Tricks to Increase Your Twitter Traffic

With our current way of life, Social Networking Websites are one of the best ways to reach the masses, if used correctly. Websites like Twitter make it possible for you to easily advertise and promote your business or blog, although, unless you are actually able to build up a decent following, you will simply be talking to yourself.

Streams aren’t a new type of collection and don’t replace any of the existing ones such as Lists and Queues.

Streams are lazy in that the operations on the da...
