Notes from Flat Creek

If you're an active user on Twitter, you've probably run into the issue of wanting to post something but just to a closed group of colleagues or members of an organization. And while Twitter does not provide this ability, there are several new services that do.

Given the amount of crisis communications and similar work we often do, we're big fans of training, so when a crisis hits we are prepared. Just as important as training though is having a checklist to work from when the task requires quick action.

According to the New York Times, Twitter and LinkedIn have agreed to a partnership that will allow LinkedIn users to bring their tweets to the popular professional social network.
