In 2010, this talk was given to nonprofits who were still new to social media. The purpose was to show people how to search Twitter without an account.

2. Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that
enables its users to send and read other users' updates known
as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in
length. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and
delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them.

According to a Pew report, 19% of online Americans use twitter.
As of October 2009.

5. NOTE:
All the listed tweets have
the word “nonprofit”.
In green, below the tweet,
you’ll see Charleston, SC
as the location of the
“tweeter”. This is because
we selected tweets in a
Charleston zip code
(29403).
