Twitter Screencast Tutorial: Build Your Own Network

If you're not on Twitter, you should pick up your rotary phone and call for help immediately! Or, just watch my screencast tutorial below which will walk you through all the basics.

Twitter is one of the most powerful tools a communicator and professional in any field can have at their disposal. The networking alone is worth your time to invest. As George Couros (@gcouros on Twitter), author of the Innovator's Mindset, recently said in his keynote address at the Arcadia Innovation Summit, "If you're not using Twitter you're basically becoming illiterate."

Say you work in the computer science field, or you are just a fan of Bill Gates. You can not only be one of his 30 million followers to see what his thoughts are, what articles he is tweeting, but you can see who the 169 people that he is following, and follow them yourself. If they are good enough for the Microsoft Co-founder to follow, it might not be a bad way to begin to build your network.

Hope to see you on Twitter! You can find me at @RyanpForan.
