Next Thursday we are having a new type of tasting- a “virtual” tasting with one of our favorite winemakers, Walter Bressia.
There are 2 ways to connect- Twitter and via webinar.
Twitter at times may seem a bit overwhelming, but its actually super easy and a great resource once you get the hang of it.
There are a lot of resources but here are the elementary steps
- Go to Twitter.com and sign up for an account
- Upload a profile picture and a short bio all about yourself
- Start to think in phrases of 140 characters or less
- Use URL shorteners to add links to articles, photos, etc, ex. www.bit.ly.com
So where did Twitter come from and why is it important?
Twitter History
Twitter was founded in San Francisco in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams. The four were participants in an R&D project with Odeo, a podcasting company. In October of 2006 the company was purchased by the senior management and the company Obvious was started by former Odeo employees to operate Odeo and Twitter. Twitter rapidly gained popularity until April 2007, when Obvious spun the company off into Twitter, Inc.
Its a great way to stay current with local events, track trends, find out opinions about your business and only for some, don’t worry that you have to be this way, it is track your daily routine.
