The Backchannel

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:

1. Accept it
2. Show you understand how Twitter works
3. Create Twitter-friendly messages
4. Take breaks
5. Extend the conversation

I've been incorporating Twitter into my presentations recently - you can see an example of a presentation I gave at Online Educa - Tools of the Trade - where I encouraged participation from the audience and the more global audience.  It makes for a very dynamic, interactive and inclusive session.  Do you have any examples to share of presentations where you have made a point of including Twitter in it - and/or any advice for those who are about to do so for the first time?
