Advanced Twitter for Business
Conversation, Community, and Profit--140 Characters at a Time
While we have had our interesting and occasionally long debates about the benefits of twitter.com the fact remains that the 2nd half of 2008 saw a growth in membership and usage that is nothing short of explosive. This has caused businesses to sit up and take notice. There were always people and organizations finding ways to add value to twitter then trying to capitalize on that value.
The O'Reilly team has put together this informative, NOT-FREE webcast to wax poetic on this very topic. The presenter, Sarah, was the 17th user to register an account on twitter.com. It sounds like she knows what she's talking about!
The Indiana Drupal Users Group has a relationship with O'Reilly Media that gives us a 35% discount off of publications and events including this webcast. If you're planning on attending this webcast, contact me for the discount code.
