Although people have written about the backchannel for years, presentation coach and blogger Olivia Mitchell was one of the first to write extensively about its impact on public speaking, and to offer practical tips on what presenters can do to engage it. I interviewed Olivia for The Backchannel book, and she was kind enough to review an early manuscript and offer extremely helpful edits and suggestions that made the book much better.

Olivia has compiled her posts into a new e-Book that I’m happy to recommend titled How to Present with Twitter (and Other Backchannels):

It’s a great companion piece to my book, filled with practical tips, suggestions and tools that you can apply to your presentations.
