Tomorrow, Wednesday, we bring you the next in the series of live marketing/branding events in Second Life: Twitter for Business.
At first blush, Twitter appears to be an easy and friendly medium. But don’t be deceived: it’s also powerful and complex, supporting a rich third-party ecosystem and tapping subtle human dynamics.
With the generous permission of O’Reilly Media, we bring you an exciting new event: a showing of a new O’Reilly webcast followed by a live discussion with host and Twitter expert Sarah Milstein.
In the new webcast, Tim O’Reilly and Sarah Milstein, Twitter experts and coauthors of The Twitter Book, will show you how to use Twitter more effectively, whether you’re on the site for personal socializing or to meet business goals. They’ll explain why Twitter is emerging as an important channel, and they’ll share key tips—along with compelling, real-life examples—from power users.
We will screen this webcast in Second Life with our guest Sarah Milstein watching too. After the film, Sarah will take part in a Q&A session, taking questions from the audience (and from Twitter, of course!)
Date: Wednesday 10th June
Time: 10am PST / 1pm EST / 6pm BST
Location: Nature Amphitheatre
Contact: Joanna Wombat
