Slides from the talk I did giving a brief overview of Twitter. Inspired to create and deliver the talk after the many blank looks I received while being on the Registrations desk at BarCamp Sydney when I invited attendees to write both their names and their Twitter names on the nametags. Special mention to Stephen Collins aka @trib for telling me I should post these here and also because I forgot to mention him on the kudos page.

3. 4 Stages of Twitter
1) so my friends keep talking about this Twitter
thing, I guess I'll check it out
2) this is stupid, I don't get it, I can't of anything to
write
3) I'm finally getting it, holy crap people are
following me!!
4) I'm in traction, yet I must Twitter!!
