Last year, thanks to social media in general, and Twitter specifically, we were able to produce a very attractive wall calendar that featured photographs provided by many of our Twitter friends. Beautiful shots from around Little Rock and Central Arkansas were featured each month, as were those funny little things called QR codes. (Have we […]
