Why you should be on Twitter – and how best to use it

This weekend, at Barcamp Pune 5, I gave a presentation targeted towards people who are new to Twitter, or who do not see what the hype is all about. The presentation went into the reasons why people find Twitter so useful and why it’s considered to be the next best thing after email. I also gave tips and tricks on how to use twitter effectively.

You can view the presentation online via slideshare:

or you can download it in your favourite format: PDF, Powerpoint 2007, Powerpoint 97-2003. Please feel free to download it, forward it to your friends, especially the ones whom you want to convince to start using twitter.
