micro-blogging site has millions of members "tweeting" in 140
characters or less.
Individuals, businesses and organizations who use
the site are rediscovering the most basic element of expanding
their influence... interaction with others.

jumping on the Twitter bandwagon, finding that Twitter is a
great place to build relationships with customers, enhance
their brand visibility and make more sales.

LIVE from Joel Comm's studio
in Northern Colorado, Tweet-a-thon 2009 will leverage the
power of Twitter to bring clean water solutions to those in
developing nations.
WaterIsLife.com is a
non-profit organization designated to receive donations from
viewers. There will be a number of different donation
levels, with various tweet-based rewards for your donation.
This year 1.8 million people will die of
waterborne disease. Waterborne disease can be caused by
protozoa, viruses, bacteria, and intestinal parasites.
There are 6,500 people dying each day, the
majority of those (4,500) are children- direct result of not
having clean water to drink…How can you and I help?
Imagine a small, portable device that hangs around the
neck of a child and gives them one year of clean water where
ever they are. If they are thirsty and they are walking by a
creek the filter acts like a big straw filtering the impure
water and making it possible to drink without risk of disease.
It has proven to be effective against waterborne diseases such
as typhoid, cholera, dysentery, and diarrhea, and removes
particles as small as fifteen microns.
This device provides clean water anywhere they
are: at home, at school, in the fields working… “WATER
IS LIFE!”

Whether members blast their short messages, or
"tweets," to members via the Twitter Web site, cell
phones, e-mail, IM, blogs or even through Facebook, Twitter is a great
and effective way to keep people connected and up to
date on what's going on in their social circle in real time.
But it's not just for staying in touch with friends. It's also
a great way to publicize your business or organization.
Presidential campaigns use it to keep supporters and
volunteers up to date; activists use it to coordinate street
protests; and the office of the Prime Minister uses it to keep
Britons informed on politics. But most importantly, businesses
are using it to interact with customers and other
businesses in a whole new way.
Twitter Power shows you how to leverage the power of
Twitter for instant business benefits—like reaching new
markets and increasing sales. You can build a loyal customer
following, expand your brand, and generate instant buzz
when you integrate Twitter into your existing marketing
strategies.
"The
best businesses of today and tomorrow are using this
high-tech, low-cost, and low-hassle technology to gain real
advantages over their competitors."
Joel Comm, one of the world's leading social media and
online marketing experts, covers every aspect of the Twitter
phenomena. He explains what Twitter is and why it works; how
to jump into the conversation and build a following; how to
use it to build better teams and stronger brands; how to make
Twitter your ultimate customer help desk; and how to
use it to drive traffic to your Web site.
Plus, Comm includes case studies of
businesses that use Twitter successfully, giving you the
examples and best practices you need to succeed.
Success in business is about staying connected—to
colleagues, teams, and especially customers. Twitter offers a
new, high-tech way to achieve that connectedness and build a
better brand with a core of loyal, enthusiastic customers. If
you want to learn to grow your business one tweet at a time,
Twitter Power will show you how.
You are invited to join Joel, his special
guests and co-host Dan Nickerson
for what is sure to be a
ground-breaking Internet event
you will not want to miss!
