I was reading an article in Business Week - Use Twitter in your next presentation - which referred to Cliff Atkinson's new book, The Backchannel.
The BW article highlights 5 suggestions Cliff made in his book for speakers dealing with the fact that audiences are likely having conversations about them and what they are saying:
- Accept it
- Show you understand how Twitter works
- Create Twitter-friendly messages
- Take breaks
- Extend the conversation
