May Event

Twitter: It's So Hot Right Now!

Find Out What Companies Are Tweeting and Why

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

Attracting almost 10 million visitors in February 2009 Twitter’s traffic is exploding with the popular micro-blog being used for both individuals and organisations worldwide.

Attend our May event to hear how local companies are using Twitter to share ideas, promote their businesses and themselves.

In keeping with the world of microblogging, each presenter has 5 minutes, slightly more than 140 characters to share their Twitter experiences. We'll find out why they use Twitter, how they measure success, their learnings, favourite tools and future plans.
 
Join us for this fascinating look at the latest social media phenomenon.
