Program Description Twitter. It's everywhere. Newscasters mention it. Political
analysts point to its influence. Marketers use it to get messages
out. Journalists and bloggers use it for research. Regular
folks use it to keep up with their friends, family, and co-workers.
And, people of all types use it for entertainment, research,
and education. Attend this session and you will learn:
We'll also look at other useful online tools that are related
to Twitter or that are built to rely on its API. Note: This month only, we will
meet the second Thursday instead of the first. Also dinner
will be at 6:00 p.m. so that Scott can start his presentation
at 6:30 p.m. |
