Keeping up with Twitter
Not sure what a hashtag or a trending topic is? Twitter is one of the most popular social networks, but without understanding its full functionality and potential, your updates will be lost in a sea of tweets. Twitter has changed its format in the last few months, making it easier to monitor traffic and find users who will be more likely to engage with you, becoming an "IRL" (in real life" advocate or customer. We'll review the latest changes, plus some third-party tools that make it easier to tweet and manage your account.
Facilitated by Allison Markin.
To register, please call Lisa at 250.492.4103. Payment is required at time of registration.
