Join your San Andreas
colleagues for a dinner program on Wednesday, March 11th at Astaria in San
Mateo. Our speaker will be Sarah Milstein, Web 2.0 strategist and author.
Twitter has a reputation for being a site where people talk about what they're eating for lunch. But the popular messaging service is fast becoming an important tool for business communications of all kinds. From gathering information to engaging with customers, partners and employees, millions of professionals are using Twitter every day. Sarah Milstein's presentation will give you insight into why you should join them and how you can do so effectively.
Sarah Milstein is the author of Twitter and the Micromessaging Revolution, an O'Reilly Media research report. Previously, she was on the senior editorial staff at O'Reilly, where she founded the Tools of Change for Publishing conference (TOC) and led the development of the Missing Manuals, a best-selling series of computer books for non-geeks. Ms. Milstein will be speaking at the Buying & Selling eContent Conference in April.
