I’m a big fan of Twitter and social media in general. So ever so often, I try to come up with creative ways to mix things up a bit in the twittersphere. So here’s my latest one. I decided to check out some of my fav followings (mostly online apps) and grab snippets of tweets to create an instant tips, tricks and update newsflash.
This one is from QuotientApp – an amazing online “quote app” and incredibly simple quoting system for your business.

Tips & Tricks:
Q. How to hide “unit price” and “quantity” fields.
A. Leave the ‘Quantity’ field empty. Then there’ll be not quantity or unit price on the quote… just a price

A. If your T&C is online you can link to it from the note description text
