    Notes on slide 1

    The first photos of the Hudson River plane crash came through Twitter.
    Bushfires were also heavily tracked and reported through Twitter. Talk about my own experience in getting mobile phones and chargers.

    Think about when you stand at a bar or in the lunch room at work. You pick up snippets of conversations. Sometimes you join in. Other times you ignore them. Perhaps you even eavesdrop.

    Twitter is a place where random assortments of people meet.

    Trying to define Twitter by its technical characteristics is like describing music through the wave frequencies of sounds. It’ll be technically correct but largely useless to most people.

    At the moment, Twitter doesn't make any money! There's a big question mark about whether it will last. Some stats say that young people don;t use it. Not sure that matters.

    Of course, some people have other views...
    This is, of course, a little bit of humour but it highlights that Twitter's role in all this is still immature

    Using Twitter as an example but could apply similar principles to Facebook, LinkedIn, etc

    Short - 140 character maximum
    Instant - once you enter it’s out there (no recall, although you can delete a tweet)
    Everyone sees it - although it’s likely that followers will be the main ones that take notice
    Replies, retweets and direct messages
    Click-throughs to your website, retweets, uptake of special offers (think of how you measure responses to mail-outs, phone campaigns, etc)

    Best way to learn about how twitter works and what it can do is to look at the real world

    Bowditch and Comm Bank

    Let’s look at the message sent by chrisbowditch: Short, Fast and Global- was out there for the world to see in seconds
    Immediate feedback - Comm Bank are actively monitoring Twitter
    Measurable - cust service response

    Not all comms are completely public. You can use Twitter as a sort of cross between email and SMS

    The key thing is that the campaign is measurable - but you need you tech guys involved so that you can get the reporting right

    Conferencing and events

    Twitter feeds on the screen are dangerous and ought to be avoided in my view
    Having someone in the audience following the Tweet-stream is useful. You can use a plant in the audience and discretely use SMS to let the presenter know what the audience is focussing on (saw this used to great effect recently but relies on having an experienced presenter who can think on their feet.
    Hashtags are a protocol that lets tweets about a specific topic be pulled together eg #sytycd

    Put a link to a Twitter feed on your corporate home page

    Not only tells people you’re on Twitter but lets them know your actual feed. There are many instances of people using false names to pretend they’re someone else

    In the example I used earlier about journalist Asher Moses, the situation was exacerbated when fakers pretended to be Asher and made more inflammatory remarks.

    Register obvious contractions and other forms of your company name. There's no enforcement of the same rules for Twitter names as there are for corporate domain names. It;s a free for all.

    13. So, earlier on today I put on twitter that I was unhappy with the service I had got from the Commonwealth Bank. Anyhow, I then started getting followed by someone who sent me a message asking me what happened? Turns out he was in Customer Relations at the bank. Anyway, I sent him back a few direct twitter messages telling him of my frustration and he obviously pulled my details up on his computer and gave me a call and lodged a complaint form! How cool is that!?

    15. We’ve surpassed $2 million in revenue in terms of Dell Outlet sales, but we’re also seeing that it’s driving interest in new product as well. We’re seeing people come from @DellOutlet on Twitter into the Dell.com/outlet site, and then ultimately decide to purchase a new system from elsewhere on Dell.com. If we factor those new system purchases that come from @DellOutlet, we’re actually eclipsed $3 million in overall sales. From http://en.community.dell.com
