How To Use Twitter To Help Market Events

Yesterday we held our second meeting of Social Media Breakfast Raleigh. We had a great turnout and I would like to thank everyone who came out to participate. As part of the event I asked Jeff Cohen to speak for a few minutes talking about how the volunteers of Raleigh Twestival used Twitter to market the event, which raised money for Charity Water.  Jeff went a step farther and created this blog post to outline the 11 steps people should take when promoting an event on Twitter.  I recommend you check out his blog post. It is good stuff. I also did a quick video of part of his talk which I have included in this post.

For folks getting started with Twitter and are trying to understand its applications this is a prime example of one of them.
