10 Twitter Tips for Better Presentations

July 6th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

I’m starting to enjoy checking my Twitter messages more and more. The reason? Because I follow a few people only — and they send out interesting links I would most likely never see otherwise.

The tips come in the form of “10 Worst Presentation Mistakes,” examples of which are reading from notes and not making eye contact. (Yes, really, people do both these and more!)
