For many people, the thought of getting up in front of their peers or people they don't know causes the pulse to race and anxiety to rise. Practicing in front of a mirror, friends and family members will help alleviate the worry and also improve your delivery. Here are some basic presentation tips called the The 10/20/30 Rule of Powerpoint from Guy Kawasaki and an ironic "How to Give a Lousy Presentation" to help you in your journey.

Overwhelmed by Social Media? Yeah, I know.

I've been using social media tools for several years now. My most recent education has come with Twitter. I've been using the tool Twitter for about 5 months now. Over the past 2 months, I've gotten a fairly good handle on what it can be used for and how to use it.
I've also found myself enamored and addicted to Twitter. I have been using Tweetdeck on my desktop and as my followers grow, the people I'm following grows as well. I just glanced over at my All Friends tweets this morning, they are at 493. Can I read all those? No way. I've also created groups, but those are starting to run over the rim as well.
I read a great blog entry today called How to Boost your Social Media Productivity - A Guide for Busy People. Even the list of how to optimize your Twitter experience is a bit overwhelming. But take it easy and just pick a few to start with. I read Tim Ferriss' entry on How to use Twitter without Twitter owning you - 5 tips and I plan on implementing his suggestions.
I think I'm going to have to give up Tweetdeck for now, unless I can figure out a more productive use for it.
