send a text message to
100,000 people
link
Or 1,000.
Or 100.
Imagine being able to
follow the text messages
of 60,000 people
Or 6,000.
Or 600.

Imagine being able to see
what most people are
talking about right now
Or what links are being
passed around most.
Or when a particular
person is mentioned. Or a
product. Or an event.
Twitter
Imagine your words being
passed on by 5 people.
Then 20. Then 100.
(Newsflash)
What do people do when a
major event occurs?
more
What will you do?
Imagine being able to find
someone where that event
is happening
Imagine being able to map
what’s being said and
done.

How people feel.
Imagine being able to ask
100 people to help you.
Or 1,000.
But why should they help?
Why should they follow
you at all?
Twitter is social.
Be social.
And have fun.
5 things you can do now
1. Sign up to Twitter and follow anyone you
know, plus 10 people from your field (use
Twellow or Tweepsearch) or area (use
Twitterlocal or Twitter Grader)
2. Tweet what you’re doing
3. Tweet a useful link
4. Tweet an @ message to someone you don’t
know
5. Try using Pingvine or Twitterfeed to send a
Delicious RSS feed to your Twitter account (so
anything you bookmark will be tweeted)
