How to use Twitter for your museum or cultural attraction

I've recently started using Twitter, and have met many museum people who either want to get on Twitter or are using it but want to learn more. I created these three tech tutorials to help you get started, learn the lingo, and find some amazing and useful tools.

Part 1 will show you how to set up and customize your account and some great examples from nonprofits:



Part 2 will show you how to shorten links, add photos and video, and use an application called TweetDeck to make sense of all your incoming Tweets. Other applications covered are Bit.ly, Twitvid.io, and Twitpic.



Part 3 will teach you Twitter etiquette, help you decipher those Tweets that look like they're written in code, and show you some really cool search tools that will expand your Twitter universe.



As always, these are priced with nonprofits in mind. If you took just one class with a computer specialist, you'd pay about $125 for an hour. These tutorials are only $5 each, and I've just added a BUY 2, GET THE THIRD FREE option, so you can take all three classes for $10, and refer to them over and over. Just use coupon code TECH-TUT during checkout. That coupon code works for any of the tech tutorials, so you can also purchase all three of the blogging tutorials for that same price. (Coupon is good through December 31, 2009.)

If you have recently been laid off or put on furlough days, you may be looking for ways to improve your skill set. I truly hope these tech tutorials will expand your potential for new employment by giving you in-demand skills and helping you stay up to date. Please let me know if there are other topics you'd like to see covered in the tutorials.
