Each attendee gets to highlight their business or service and meet like minded business people in North Wexford.

At last Friday’s meeting  Michael Doyle of Doyle Associates cave a very practical presentation on how small businesses can take practical steps to manage their money in these tough times.

If you are in business in North Wexford or South Wicklow these events are worth attending.

Nearly every day I get asked “What is this Twitter thing? And who’s using it?“

Well the 10 billionth entry (commonly referred to as a Tweet) recently went up on Twitter. Below is a graph showing the dramatic rise in the use of Twitter. Note how high Ireland is on the list of regions.

So now we know that Twitter is popular, who uses Twitter? Well you would be suprised to know that most Twitter users are over 30. That’s the age profile of most of the business owners in Ireland.

Age distribution of Twitter Users

While Facebook and Bebo are favoured by the younger age group, the business community has adopted Twitter.

So now that you know that you should be using Twitter, where do you start. Here is a simple guide from Adrian Wreckler on how to start using Twitter.
