What Is Twitter and What Does It Have To Do With the Innovator Spotlight Conference?
Twitter (www.twitter.com) is a widely used online social networking service. It enables users to send and read other users' updates, called “tweets.” Tweets are short, limited to 140 characters in length. Think of them as responses to a perpetual question: "What's going on”?
As a member of the Twitter community, you will be able to follow other account holders, such as the Innovator Spotlight conference, and their tweets will show up on your screen when you log in to Twitter. For example, if you are following the @InnovationsConf and the League tweets, "Session Up Next: Innovations at your Fingertips," this would show up on your page when you sign in to www.twitter.com. It's that simple.
Hashtags (#): These are handy items to know about! Using a designated hashtag allows you to see all of the related posts from everyone talking about or having a conversation about the same thing. Just search on the hashtag (i.e., the Innovator Spotlight conference hashtag is #VINN13), and find all of the related tweets - kind of like a Google search, only it’s on Twitter, and it’s just for those hashtag posts. Use the search function on Twitter.com or go to http://search.twitter.com/ for the quickest results.
Log on to Twitter to check for updates, or adjust your personal settings so that Twitter sends you emails and/or mobile updates when the Innovator Spotlight conference tweets. Details pertaining to slightly more advanced Twitter features like these are available under the site's help section.
