Virtual Event Success

This is a wonderful video that Cece Salomon-Lee, Director of Marketing for InXpo, put together explaining how to use Twitter for virtual events.

The first part of the video focuses on Twitter basics, such as signing up, following people, retweeting, blocking people and sending tweets or direct messages. So, if you consider yourself to be an intermediate or advanced Twitter user, you can skip the first 5-minutes.
