5 Twitter Tips for SES

With SES London fast approaching I thought I would share some quick tips on what to do and what to avoid when using Twitter at the conference: -

1. Dont tweet everything
Seriously we dont need to know your every movement (literally)

2. Use Twitter to meet people
When your at the event make sure people know where you are at set times so you can meet up. Its great to be able to tweet “hey anyone at SES meeting for a drink tonight?” and hey presto you have people to drink with!

3. Try to avoid tweeting too much drunk
Its very funny for everyone else but tweeting every part of the evening once you have had that 10th pint is probably a bad idea overall.

4. Follow the speakers of sessions you attend
Its great to be able to attend a session and then afterwards ask the speaker the odd question about their presentation. Most people are helpful and in my opinion you can never know enough clever people.

5. Dont fake it
I know of quite a few people who have left the conference or didnt even go and yet pretend they are attending by following the chatter on twitter and chipping in with fake tweets.
Kinda sad and afterall if you arent making connections at the event why the hell are you bothering?

Hope they help – Anyone think of any more?
