As I sat at one of my favorite lunch locations, Liquid Lunch in Milford, CT , my mind (per usual) began to wonder what the possibilities were for restuarants, bars, cafes, and the like to harness and embrace the power of these location apps (Gowalla is a similar competitor). To start, I noticed that there was no sign of any social media calls-to-action in the restuaruant, urging customers to join their Facebook Fan Page or to follow them on Twitter. They could easily post today's soups and sandwich of the day, ask for recipe recommendations, offer Twitter or Facebook-only daily coupons,

All forms of social media, from networks like Facebook and Twitter to online video and blogging, have given "the people formerly known as the audience" a series of microphones and platforms of their own, and they're using them. Who shares: Once upon a time, only three people controlled what was shared outside the meeting room: The organizer, the speaker and any journalists who were covering the session. Who listens: Listening in doesn't require being in the room anymore, thanks to the backchannel on Twitter and similar sites. Public speaking comes with a lot of assumptions baked into it--forms, formats and formalities that have been used over and over again for centuries.

Keep in mind what these events' organizers know: Most audiences don't want a formal, long, traditional speech or lecture. For speakers, that may mean moving questions-and-answers to the start of a talk, or throughout it; incorporating Twitter breaks and other ways for the audience to participate in votes, polls or other actions while you speak; and even finding ways to reach the audience outside the room, listening in virtually.

Much ado over a Twittering Congress. Last week during the President's address to the joint session of Congress, some members Twittered through the speech . Traditional presenters bristled with comments like: "if someone is Twittering during a presentation, it means that the speaker is not keeping their interest and attention. People have been making color commentary Almost immediately, two basic attitude camps sprang up among pundits: 1. How dare they!

However, seeing the benefits of using Twitter and being able to incorporate it effectively into your presentation are two very different things.
So let's take a look at some best practices for integrating HASHTAGS

But today, many conferences also use a Twitter backchannel to spread ideas and enhance relationships. have to admit: there are quite a few conferences that I have NOT attended -- but I've followed the Twitter backchannel. I was able to glean enough nuance from the real-time conversations in the Twitter backchannel during a webcast presentation -- that I didn't need to actually watch the presenter! “Content isn't king. If I sent you to a desert island and gave you the choice of taking your friends or your movies, you'd choose your friends - if you chose the movies, we'd

At ignite, I could have been quoted on Twitter immediately (I wasn’t, I don’t think, but it was possible!), let the presentation grow organically by setting my slides to rotate as they would on stage (15 seconds each), and then started running them, and talking along. One of my favorite talks at the last Seattle Ignite was Jason Preston ’s talk called “Goodbye Tolstoy: how to say anything in 140 characters”. He does so many things right in his ignite talk, and did it with such confidence, I interviewed him for his take on public speaking - which

I'll come up with a wonderfully effective and entertaining title, and the conference organizer will bill it as "X for Beginners". I hate it when my name and face gets positioned next to that turd of a title. That was just a description of the TOPIC and AUDIENCE PROFILE that I discussed with the organizers so that I could build a relevant presentation for you. The Intro to X X 101 X for Beginners Ugh. What presentation titles could possibly be more overused?
