DESCRIPTION
Presented to the FTA Great Lakes Group at Harper College in March 2010, this presentation will help any user get started with a Twitter profile. While simple and short, it shows you where to start; includes key considerations for strategy; and how to engage prospects, colleagues, suppliers and the community. With the Resources I've included at the end, you won't need to buy a book or call your nephew!
