Still the Best Tutorial on Twitter
If you need to show your friends or colleagues what the hell is twitter, then seriously consider sending them this video about twitter. The guys at CommonCraft.com have also done an excellent job making videos on a variety of other Social Media trends, so I would highly recommend checking them out if you’re still figuring out this whole social media thing.

By far the best tutorial on Twitter ever. Have used similar videos for other clients and they are very effective at getting the message across in ways that are difficult with text.

A Taste of the Twitter Inner Circle at Twestival 2009
Yesterday, I was invited my Miss Claire Bear to go to a twitter event in Downtown Los Angeles. She told me it was a twitter event called Twestival, that would have live comics and music acts with all the proceeds going to charity that helps deliver clean water to malnourished children around the world. I said, “Sure, why not?”
Along with Claire, I also met up with Terry (a mutual friend of the Mouse and I), my old intern, Niecee, who’s the social media director for Pacific Sunwear (how proud am I?) and her boyfriend, twitter extrodinaire, Jonathan360. I just linked all their twitter accounts, so click on over and follow them! And if you’re in the following mode, remember to follow me – http://www.twitter.com/mrgarylee – you never know, I might actually twitter something you care about! =)
So, I got there a little early, so I just took some pictures, thinking you guys might want to see what’s going on at these kind of things. Since, I got there early, it was pretty empty and with hopes that it would fill up, I’m sorry to say that it didn’t. I was there for almost 3 hours and the only comic that showed up sucked (the whole “I’m a dumb drunk who doesn’t know why he’s a comic” routine). The band was a mix of lincoln park and sewage. The sad thing is the most famous person to show up was the guy who sang “Chocolate Rain” on YouTube (I learned all the fun facts about him when I was there).
No matter though, I still had a good time catching up with everyone. I got to share my story of owning a domain – GoogleShadow.com – that some guy in the UK decides to use the name for in his newest ebook. I’ve been getting pretty damn good traffic from all the publicity he’s been generating for the site. Talk about the easiest affiliate marketing I’ve ever had to do!
Anyways, here are some photos from the event:
