 Twitter Handbook is going LIVE

 Join us offline in Vegas. 

We’ve been writing the book on Twitter, with this blog, and through out Twitcasts.

Now @CoashDeb (the one with the new profile pic) is coming to Vegas to speak this weekend. So we’re taking the project offline.

All Twitter users, Twitter Handbook contributors, and the general public are invited to join us (this means you)

If you are anywhere near Las Vegas on Thursday, please drop by and Meet up with us at the Vegas Tweetup

@rands writes in an excellent post called “We Travel in Tribes”

Don’t Give Me What I Asked For, Give Me What I Want

When I ask a question, I’m looking for an answer in one of three ways:

1. Specifics.
2. Like or Related.
3. Rock My World.

Last month during the 1st TwitCast, we talked about “What’s the use of Twitter?” Including the following topics/conversations:

What is Twitter

What are Hashtags

How to use Summize.com

How Twemes.com can be used

Is Twitter really “more than just chat”?

Can Twitter really useful for business?

& so much more as the community got involved

We had such great participation from the Twitterverse, which made the 1st ever TwitCast a huge success!

Adam Des Autels & Roger Bauer took it to the next level, as Adam helped to reply back to questions and comments as he tracked the conversation on Twemes & then Roger created a great video after it was over explaining the apps we talked about so that you, the Twitter user could make use of the services for your business or personal use on Twitter.

Warren & I (CoachDeb) have a solid belief about the Twitter Handbook. And that is:

The community involvement is what will make the Twitter Handbook a far better published book than if he and I were to sit down and start typing on our own.

Ever since we each joined Twitter - we’ve both learned everything about Twitter - by using it and interacting with the community filled with brilliant minds and wonderful souls - all willing and eager to participate and help one another out - either in sharing the best resources, or by teaching one another whatever they need to know.

This week - we come together again - to talk about Twitter, what it is, and what types of Twitter apps there are that you can start using to enhance your Twitter experience.

We’ll be meeting slightly later than last time in order to accommodate those requests from the West Coast, and down under who couldn’t join us to participate.

Here’s a recap of how to use Hashtags & twemes which will be important once we begin the conversation announcing the hashtag we’ll use for this chapter of the Twitter Handbook.

Thank you Roger Bauer for creating a great video recap of the TwitCast held last month.

I’ve been running into people who have been trying to get set up with Twitter and social media and seem to be “missing the mark”

They tell me they put some effort into setting up a profile, but don’t see much action.

Quite often, they are using a corporate name, a bland of missing photo, and haven’t posted much.

Is the photo you use for you profile important. Here’s what one user learned.
