On today’s show I interview Manuel Saint-Victor about how game developers can utilize the social networks to form better strategies when it comes to marketing their games.  We go pretty deep into all the things you should be and shouldn’t be doing and discuss the how important SEO, branding, twitter, and networking all are.    Although it does run a bit long, the entire show is pack full of very insightful and useful knowledge that can really help an indie game developer when it comes to better marketing their games.
