Social Media is not a Fad - Ann Holman
"The traditional differentiators that business had five years ago are being lost everyday. Products and services are too similar. Price, quality and delivery are the same. Social media is having a huge impact on how we communicate, converse and connect with customers. This short keynote speech looks at how social media is enabling specifically four huge shifts; product to people, broadcast to social, transaction to relationship, service to experience. Delegates will gain an overview on how Twitter is creating true relationships in a people to people environment."
Twitter Tools, Tips & Techniques - Chris Wood

These are not to be missed if you want to become serious about using Twitter for business."
