This article is based on a document that we give to our clients that we help with blogging. It is a compilation of ideas and thoughts collected on the internet on how to be successful using Twitter.
Introduction
Twitter is the single fastest growing social media outlet on the Internet. From April ‘08 to April ‘09, Twitter has gone from 1.22 million users to 17.1 million users (Time magazine).
More importantly, Twitter is a fantastic tool to increase your network. Unlike other social media tools such as Facebook or LinkedIn where the primary network is people you already know, Twitter goes far beyond that network putting you in touch with a world beyond the one you already have access to.

Blogging makes you a better thinker
In an effort to create content for a blog that is succinct, it can reveal new ways to look at common things, or apply simple solutions to seemingly complex problems.
Blogging makes you a better listener
By listening with a writer’s ear, you will find yourself coming up with blog ideas simply by listening to others discuss unrelated subjects.

Flying Chimp Media was an exhibitor at the 24th Annual Accounting Show for the FICPA. This is a trade show for Certified Public Accountants to get their CPE credit while getting a chance to learn about various products and services that can benefit them. It gets around 1200 attendees every year.
While we have done trade show booth designs before, it was the first time that Flying Chimp has ever been an exhibitor at a trade show.
Our Plan
In keeping with all things Flying Chimp, our booth had to reflect our fun and creativity, while still being professional and easily understood.
Our booth was very visual with a lot of our humor throughout, but we were careful not to be over the top. Of course we were consistent with our branding throughout.
