Live Tweet?

communication - it is a way to talk with other

What is Twitter?

users can share “real-time” information and
conversations via tweets.
Tweets are 140 character posts; they are “an

it as a favorite.” - About Twitter

What is Twitter?
When you tweet, visualize you
are standing outside talking
loudly enough for anyone to
hear your thoughts & ideas.
Be careful with your words &
what you share.

Twitter Bio
Include a descriptive bio ...
Why a bio ?
Bio information helps people to decide who to follow.
And an image … no egg!
If on Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram, or other social
media, consider using the same image for your ‘brand.’

Casual Networking
“Twitter takes time. You can't simply join and think you
get it. You must try to get on regularly for about 20 or
30 minutes at first. Find ways to engage with people,
much like you would if you were going into a social
function by yourself … look for someone you identify
with and strike up a conversation.” - Peter DeWitt
