Of course, the use of business metaphors, language and procedures in the nonprofit sector in general is far from new, and it’s been a trend I’ve not liked much. The wholesale adoption of for profit language into the nonprofit space has bothered me for years.

I've been thinking about how to best incorporate the back channel or in this case Twitter. Two recent blogs, " How To Present While People Are Twittering " and " Trends in Leadership Conferences " are the most recent blog posts packed with advice.
