He expounds how you need to continuously lend significance to others prior to asking them to purchase your merchandise and services. The book is called Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World and it was published by HarperBusiness.

In chapter four, Vaynerchuk confabs solely about Twitter. "The main mistake most marketers make is to use Twitter primarily as an extension of their blog."
Here are some other quotes from the book about Twitter, and what you can acquire from

    This has caused user feeds to be less about what is actually important to them, and more about what Twitter wants users to see. This idea makes more sense when relating it to Chris Anderson’s ideology around the “long tail”, which is the idea that there should be infinite quantities of media that are readily available, and not just a push for popular content. The problem is that Twitter is no longer supporting the use of small niche accounts effectively, and is overshadowing them with popular, sponsored, revenue creating accounts. Evan Williams, one of the cofounders describes Twitter as originally being spawned from text messaging as an easier way to contact large groups of people.
