Using Twitter for Moral Support (mobile podcast #013A)
Twitter proved invaluable for my cousin who has been caught up in the volcano ash air traffic chaos while on holiday in Malaysia - in this podcast, I share her story and ask: How do you use Twitter to keep in touch, especially in a crisis?
Also, I use Rebtel.com for cheap international calls on my mobile phone so I thought I’d give you a handy tip about this service. I don’t get a commission from them but I just want to tell you about this useful service because I like it.
There is a new Postbag section with readers’ comments and feedback.
And I’ve set up some voicemail lines with a US/ North America as well as a UK telephone line AND a Skype line for you to leave your voicemail to be included in future podcast episodes. You can find all the details on my Contact Page at www.fusionview.co.uk/contact.
You can subscribe to the Fusion View Mobile Podcast by clicking on the “Subscribe with iTunes” button - it’s free and new episodes will be downloaded automatically to your iTunes application.
I’d love to hear how you’ve used Twitter to keep in touch with family and friends or if you have been caught up in the recent air travel crisis - or if you have any comments or thoughts about anything else I’ve discussed in my podcasts or on my blog. Just go to www.fusionview.co.uk/contact to send me an email or voicemail.
