This is the presentation I like to give to people who tell me they "don't get Twitter" or "cannot see its value." Of all social media tools, Twitter is my most beloved because it can be sculpted and molded to suit any user. It take's a bit of attention and care, but it's just a matter of knowing where you should focus you energy to suit your personal preferences.
