March 13th, 2008 by Allen VoivodTime: 6 minutes, 52 seconds. Have a listen!
Featured Expert: Kevin Skarritt, Chief Nut, Acorn Creative
Summary: Everything you wanted to know about Twitter, from three presenters driving to the 2008 MicroCredit-NH Entrepreneurial Exchange.
Teaser Quip: “Why do we want the equivalent of another small child tugging at our arms going, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?’”
Idea path: Microblogging >> what is a blog? >> how Twitter is a microblog >> the equivalent of another small child >> try explaining what being a parent’s like to your single friends >> tbest tool for getting something out to the world for time-crunched folks >> being concise, punchy, effective >> if they’re not reading your whole website, they can read 140 characters >> fast and effective >> more of comparing Twitter to having a child >> “following” someone >> done with RSS >> how often do you do it? >> know something more about yourself >> Twitter makes it easier for people to learn more about you!
Follow us on Twitter: Kevin, Lani, and Allen. (Note: It took Allen a little less than five minutes to set both he and Lani up on Twitter, put up the first “tweets” for each, and set up the “following” for each other and to follow Kevin as well. It can be just as easy for you, too!)
