“Twitter: What’s all the fuss about?” presentation
Despite the promotion of Twitter to the ranks of “the great issues of our day”, and 24/7 coverage of new Twitter stories via TV, radio and newspapers, some people (normal, well-adjusted people) still need that basic introduction. What is it? How do I use? and What’s all the fuss about?
So Made By Many, along with BBH Labs, put have put together a presentation that we dusted off today at BBH’s London office to a crowd of excited advertising folks. We’d like to put this presentation out there for the rest of the world, under an Attribution Creative Commons license, for anyone who wants to explain Twitter to colleagues, clients, friends, relatives and their spouse – including the illustrations. Please use them (just give us a credit). We couldn’t find any attractive Twitter iconography – so we made our own: the first in what we hope will become a series.
Credit goes out to Mel Exon and Ben Malbon of BBH Labs, Anjali at Made By Many, and especially to Tom Harding at Made By Many for creating the the charming illustrations and presentation style. You can find the presentation on SlideShare.
