Event Description

Do you use Twitter? What do you get out of it? What works and what doesn't?

Or maybe you don't use Twitter, and don't get all the hype?

Bob Walsh has kindly agreed to host this online chat and answer all your questions about Twitter, and micro-blogging in general.

By turns, Bob is a developer, blogger, author, consultant, podcaster and still thinks of himself as a reporter from my days in that line of business a very long time ago. He's presently working on his third Apress book, working title The Software Startup Success Guide. Bob is the author of Micro-ISV: From Vision to Reality (Apress, 2006), Clear Blogging (Apress, 2007), MicroISV Sites that Sell! (ebook, 2008) and The Twitter Survival Guide (ebook with Kristen Nicole, 2008).

Besides writing, Bob consults with ISVs, startups and microISVs on clearly and effectively communicating their unique selling proposition to customers, joining the global online conversation via blogging and microblogging and defining their product or online service.

Bob and Microsoft evangelist Patrick Foley produce The Startup Success Podcast (available on iTunes).

Bob is presently working on his next startup, StartupToDo.com.

This online chat is at 5pm GMT, so 12 noon EST or 9am PST

Comment by Rachel Clements on February 12, 2009 at 3:46pm: I have Bob's book Micro-ISV: From Vision to Reality which I completely defaced with notes, comments, ideas, other scrawlings and no end of post-it notes, it's an excellent book! I'm really looking forward to this chat :-)

Comment by Peter Clark on February 17, 2009 at 9:37pm: I really rave about Twitter. It's fantastic - anyone that has any doubts about Twitter should deffo come to this chat.

I've had tons of great advice via Twitter (thanks mostly to twitter.com/neildavidson) about my startup. Far more powerful than linkedin for me.

Comment by Bob Walsh on February 17, 2009 at 10:09pm: FYI, I've just posted a free "demo version" of Kristen Nicole's and I's The Twitter Survival Guide at http://multisocialmedia.com/?p=223

Comment by Vladimir on February 25, 2009 at 3:06pm: Know about Bob - have read his "MicroISV Sites that Sell". Look forward to participate in this chat and may be get his opinion on our rather unusual situation and how Twitter could be useful.
