I was reading a very interesting article in Econtent Magazine this week regarding Twitter, and agreed with the author’s conclusion so much I wanted to share the article and my thoughts on it with you.

The primary point made is that Twitter is indeed growing up. Along with it, our recognition of the conversations we have there need to evolve as well. We need to think about what we’re tweeting about and stop with the incessent noise.

I’ve been spending alot of time the last few weeks researching “trends” in the public speaking arena. Believe it or not, I’m encouraged by what I see.

Some of the things I see are: Public seminar promoters having a rough time filling their room with attendees, speakers finding it more difficult than ever to get bookings from speakers bureaus and those that are getting booked are having to discount their fees to do so.
