  • "Dave's Twitter Class was "Tweet"!"

    Review of Introduction to Twitter, April 24, 2009

    Dave provided wonderful instruction during his webinar training on Twitter. He was very knowledgeable on the subject and provided great clarity on questions presented to him by the group. His preparation was stellar with a ppt deck that could be easily reviewed. I feel as if I'm a "twitter guru" following his training. Thanks Dave. My sound was perfect!

  • "Lost my hearing."

    Review of Introduction to Twitter, April 23, 2009

    I liked the webinar until the sound turned off promptly at noon. I could see Dave's cursor and the side bar dialog box said Dave was talking. I tried through various mediums: Twitter (ScubaSkier) and the side bar combox, but no response in writing (couldn't hear comments). So missed about 15 - 20 minutes of the overtime conversation about other Twitter services. So grades below reflect my not getting the whole show. Good venue. Teaching needs to be more organized and focused, but good potential.

    Teacher's Response:

    Hey David -- sorry for having the sound cut out on you -- that was our first experiment with GoToMeeting, and most of the folks had no problems with the sound, but we know we had issues with some folks. And, sorry for running on too long -- we'll try to do better with future webinars -- hope you're having a great day!

    My wife took an Introduction to Glass Blowing class a few years ago, and really enjoyed it -- she didn't love the 'burning' aspect of it (that is, reaching into the furnaces), but once ...
