Twitter Follow Friday & Viva Viernes - Featured This Week

Hello amigos! This week I’d like to recognize all the tweeps I recommend following at one time. There are so many good people I’d like to recognize, this way seems better than tweeting dozens of individual messages. I'll be adding to the list and changing the featured group each week. So please come by again. I hope you’ll let me know what you think of this new process. So leave a message or send me a tweet.
Happy tweeting!
Raul Ramos y Sanchez
