Accessible World's Tek Talk Training for Monday June first, 2009 is all about Twitter. With the ever-growing popularity of social networking, Accessible World is delighted to have Rich Cavallaro a student from Hofstra University, as our guest on Tek Talk. He will guide us through the many features of this ever-growing social networking site. Rich will discuss how to set up an account, how to follow people, how to send the different types of messages, ways to tweet and more.
Using Twitter, people are able to have a constant link among family, friends, and also get the latest information about various companies. Twitter is a service that millions are using around the world. Join us on Tek Talk so that you too, can learn how to tweet on twitter.
