A home page was all you really needed
To seem like a success but not a geek
As long as you updated semi-annually
And checked your email once or twice a week

Technology was moving rather quickly
And the next thing you needed was a blog
With intimate and detailed press releases
And now and then a photo of your dog...
...
You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter
And if you aren’t there already you’ve missed it
If you haven’t been bookmarked, retweeted and blogged
You might as well not have existed...

Lyrics and Music by Ben Walker (http://www.ihatemornings.com/twittersong/).

Oh how the world has changed! Now when we are in or giving a presentation, we need to be aware of how the audience is twittering about the presentation. Certainly at TS2008 the Twittersphere was just starting to catch fire and people were posting Tweets during the presentations. This year I fully expect that the audience and the presenters will be all linked together in real time, asking questions and providing commentary as the presentations unfold.

So it was only time before someone posted an article on “How to Present while People are Twittering” (http://pistachioconsulting.com/twitter-presentations/).

This is a wonderful article for both attendees and presenters alike. It offers great tips on how to make the most of any presentation while using Twitter. It will be a handy guide for Techshow attendees to gain the best value at the Show.

In the meantime, don't forget to watch the Twitter video and listen to the song:

I will be looking for you on Twitter at TS 2009 and certainly Tweet during my presentations: My twitter address: david_bilinsky

And whether you're attending ABA TECHSHOW or not, be sure to visit the TECHSHOW Buzz page -- it will contain the latest Twitter updates, blog posts, pictures on Flickr, and more!
