Presentation expert Olivia Mitchell has written a follow-up article on her previous post that was published to the Touchbase blog.

She notes that there are a ton of comments below with some great points not covered in the original post, How to Present When People are Tweeting. So that you don’t have to wade through them all, Olivia Mitchell has summarized the comment threads in a post on her blog Is Twitter a good thing while you’re presenting?

To recall her key points on “How to Present when People are Tweeting,” Mitchell writes about the following benefits:

  • Tweeting while presenting helps the audience focus on the subject matter currently being discussed.
  • It also gives the audience members more content.
  • The immediacy and speed of Twitter enables audience members to get questions answered quickly.
  • You can gain from the presentation even if you weren’t physically at the event.

Of course, there’s more — so hop on over to the original post if you missed it and then to Olivia’s follow-up on her blog to see the subsequent discussion. Olivia has also recently presented at an event and shared her thoughts.
