Goals, Issues, Challenges
Most participants are aware of Twitter. A few use it for personal purpose and organizational purpose.
Twitter only allows 140 characters.
Paul's presentation was created using Prezi.com - very cool!
It's really important to define/identify your readers - try not to mix audiences, otherwise, your messages will be very mixed or even confusing.
There may be no cost in getting the tool, but there is a lot of "human cost".
Who owns the content when the one responsible is twittering works for the organization and uses work time to do this.
The technical capability of staff in the same organization differs - belonging to different generations and with different experience with social media tools.
