THE TWEET SPOT WITH FOURSQUARE
Tuesday, September 14 – Friday, September 17, 2010
The Tweet Spot provides a continuous display of the Brainstorming Twitter streams. It’s “Social Networking Central” at Brainstorming, providing a place to share thoughts, tips, ideas, and insights in person and online, with other Brainstorming followers while the event is underway. Brainstormers go to the Tweet Spot to see what’s new, get set up to follow or contribute to the conversations via your own mobile device, and even get help from the sponsor reps if you’re a social networking newbee! If you are new to Twitter and/or Foursquare and wonder what the fuss is about or would simply like some valuable insight, join one of the short educational sessions offered on social media by people who specialize in this exciting format. This year’s event is certain to give everyone tons to tweet about!
