Don't pass up this opportunity to learn more and stay up with the 21st century of communication.

I'm taking an 8+ hour seminar this week with Lisa Orrell, marketing guru, and have plenty of great material to share with you at the meetup! See you soon! http://socialmediawithkaren.blogspot.com

Marlene - I think this is a good change for our meeting:
"Due to the size of the group, we will be using a conference room at the same location instead of in the coffee shop. Enter the coffee house and just follow the signs, they will lead the way."

Karen is a font of knowledge about social media and she's a Twitter queen! This presentation should be great!

A couple of suggestions after attending the last presentation.

It would be helpful if you verbally directed your cursor around the screen as you clicked buttons to navigate. It would be easier to follow and remember.

Also helpful is coming with a basic outline. I've noticed that often at informal talks, a presenter that has a lot of knowledge, feels they can just "wing it". If a key button or category isn't brought up during the question period, they could be missed altogether.
Thanks!

Hi Charlie, great input! Thank you! I will post an outline of my talk here on this meetup page today (by 6 p.m.) Good idea.

Hi Karen,
One area of Twitter that is relatively new is LISTS. I hope you will cover lists, including creating, using, following, one's own vs other twitters' lists, etc.
Thanks,
Sara

Good idea Sara. You've probably got it laid out already, Karen, but I second the List idea. If not this time, then next? Ev

Re: Twitter lists. I will mention this lis feature. Given the short time, I won't get into it much as this talk is targeted to beginners. However, if most of the audience, like Sara and Evelyn, has a bit more experience, I will spend more time on it. Otherwise, I will host an intermediate Twitter class another time.

Outline of what the Twitter talk will cover tomorrow:
* Who is using Twitter
* What is Twitter
* When to use Twitter/How it can serve your business
* Definition of primary Twitter features
* How to Set Up Your Account
* Anatomy of a Tweet

Great outline Karen so people understand the depth of this session.

Twitter Lists - I doubt there will be time to go into detail on this, here are 2 links about Twitter Lists: http://bit.ly/aP7401 and http://bit.ly/b2jpBh

Thanks to those of you who attended my Twitter talk on this rainy morning! On my social media blog, I have posted my upcoming classes, the first 3 Wednesdays of March (7 to 9 p.m.) at the Capitola BookCafe. http://socialmediawithkaren.blogspot.com

Thanks much Karen! - with so much to cover I appreciated how organized you were and how you stayed on track. Taking the approach of showing how the mechanical features of Twitter could be used for positioning and building our business was particularly helpfull. Because we were late in starting we didn't get to the reaching out to new customers portion. Is there a way other than trolling our followers?
Thanks again!
Charlie
