“Steal This” wasn’t telling me to steal that presentation, and
repost it. It was telling me to replicate what works.
Save these items, pin ‘em, bookmark
them, use them for inspiration.
When something’s #trending jump
on the bandwagon.
Trends usually don’t last, but they

Just don’t try to hashtag trending
words to unrelated items
