I had the pleasure of presenting at the inaugural Reverse Space Conference (RSCon) this past Saturday. I hope everyone learned a few things… I also picked up a some additional tips from several of the attendees and am continuing to investigate other ways we can use Twitter more effectively to manage our careers. Thanks! For those that missed it, here is the title and abstract if you want to get a quick synopsis of what the talk was about.

“How to Win Followers and Influence Friends: Hacking Twitter to Boost Your Security”

Twitter has become the de facto standard that infosec pros use to communicate with peers and many outside the security community. We share interesting articles, proclaim our opinions, strengthen friendships, build new relationships, and overall become more of a community as a whole. For many Twitter is a chaotic stream of conscience that we both pull and contribute to. This presentation tries to help practicing security professionals reign in the chaos with 5 key strategies that will help you effectively use Twitter to improve your career prospects.

And finally you can download the slides here [PDF].
