Cool stuff from PSN’s March Twitter Feed

By Clive Young. Here at PSN, we use Twitter, Facebook and our daily e-newsletter to share all the breaking news that appears on ProSoundNews.com. Our Twitter feed, however, provides a lot more than just headlines; we use it to share links to great stories at other sites, provide live coverage of events and conventions, offer the occasional audio insight, pass along some of the weird pro audio-related stuff that we come across on any given day, and more. If you visit ProSoundNews.com regularly, you've already read the stories and headlines, so here’s some PSN tweets from March 2010 that weren't headlines. Remember to follow us on Twitter at @ProSoundNews!
