                        Capture lost connections
                        some bigshot loved your blogpost, how do they track what you’re doing?

                        Public visibility



Friday, July 22, 2011

                          a little story




Friday, July 22, 2011
Examples?
                        I’m at @andyet because of twitter.
                            We recruit through twitter.
                          We reach out through twitter.




Friday, July 22, 2011
“I don’t need another
                           garbage stream”
                           It is what you make it.
                           Take out the garbage!




Friday, July 22, 2011
User tips
                        What I do to get value out of it




Friday, July 22, 2011
Pick a topic & stick with it
              Use facebook to tell your mom what you had for breakfast.




Friday, July 22, 2011
Follow lots of people
                    Who tweet about your interests, 100 people minimum.




Friday, July 22, 2011
Unfollow Ruthlessly
                        Be insanely picky or you’re wasting your time




Friday, July 22, 2011
Use #hashtags
                        Ex: Giving a “why twitter matters” talk at
                        #krtconf. Slides here http://someurl.com




Friday, July 22, 2011
Think before you post
                            Don’t drink and tweet




Friday, July 22, 2011
Keep it positive




Friday, July 22, 2011
See ya on Twitter!
                           @HenrikJoreteg

Editor's Notes

  1. I’m Henrik Joreteg, I work at &yet which is a 11-person company of devs/designers based in the hottest tech area in the world: Tri-cities Washington. \n\nI’m here because in the past year, as a company we’ve churned out several different realtime web apps, that’s kind of our thing. We do it for clients, we do it for our own products. We dig it. \n\nI wrote a lot of the JS for those apps and I’m here to share what we’ve learned.\n
