One reason why you should not have Twitter responses in Powerpoint presentations
I kept thinking about reasons why you should using Twitter in Powerpoint is a bad idea.
I thought about being able to read a room.
Speakers need to be able to look at the audience’s reactions. If speakers are relying on Twitter, they lose their ability to read nonverbal cues. Once again, a speaker needs to be experienced if they want to use Twitter responses instead your Powerpoint presentation.
By reading the audience, you can spark a conversation about any questions they have about your topic.

Sorry, but that’s a REALLY bad reason. Why would it be either/or? I can see the crowd, I can see what they are tweeting. Yes, it helps to be a good presenter, but a bad presenter is just going to be clueless about how bad they are if they don’t have access to the twitter stream…
Yeah, I am trying to play devil’s advocate. It was bothering me that I could not come up with a negative so people have some balance. That was the only thing I can come up with. If anyone else has a idea about the negative implications of incorporating Twitter into your PowerPoint presentation, let me know in the comments.
