By Chuck McKenney
Popular social networking site can net you deals on A/V gear and gadgets.
In this economy, I値l take a deal anyway I can get it. When I知 in full shopping mode, I値l scour the web for hours. I値l even poke around the flyers in the Sunday newspaper.
But the obsession for finding the lowest price often comes at a price - your time. Fortunately, many retailers and online shopping sites are using Twitter to get news of their deals into the hands of potential customers.
