Twitter is quickly becoming the de facto tool of choice for brands and companies to promote their products to a global audience. In keeping with the "engage, not broadcast" rule of thumb in social media, some organizations are also using Twitter to help customers solve tricky technical issues, resolve customer service complaints, or just find out why their flight has been delayed. If executed successfully, Twitter is a valuable tool that, when used in tandem with a larger social media strategy, can help companies engage with their customer, build new relationships and create an army of brand advocates. However, in a recent study by Weber Shandwick, only 9% of Fortune 100 companies examined used their Twitter account for customer service. Our panelists will talk about their experiences with Twitter as a customer service platform, what they've found works, what doesn't and shed some light on why Twitter is becoming a popular platform for customer engagement.

Hastings St., Vancouver, BC.http://www.techincentives.ca/images/main.jpg December 1st: The Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Incentive Program (often referred to as simply SR&ED or SRED) provides tax incentives (in the form of tax credits and/or refund) to Canadian businesses to support applied research and experimental development conducted in Canada. The SR&ED Tax Incentive seminar is a 1-hour seminar that teaches the best practices of successful entrepreneurs.Special guest Richard Moore, a former CRA advisor and SR&ED specialist with over 200 SR&ED claims approved, will guide SR&ED qualifying companies through the complex process of receiving credits and refunds through this multi-billion dollar program. If you have been, and will be, doing leading-edge development and/or experiencing significant technical problems, then you will likely qualify for the Research and Development Tax Credit! Only the company that owns the intellectual property can apply. The work must be performed in Canada by Canadians. The critical qualifying technical issue is whether you generated new knowledge to solve problems that were unresolvable using existing knowledge. Canadian Controlled Corporations in British Columbia receive cash equal to the sum of costs incurred to resolve technically-challenging issues: * 69% of salaries; * 42% of contract payments; * 23% of test equipment (new, not used); * Less 42% of NRC/IRAP grants or other government assistance. Learn how to take advantage of SR&ED with the information only available through this seminar. Register here: http://www.sfu.ca/uilo/seminars.html For more information on the SR&ED seminar, please email time@sfu.ca. Or visit http://www.techincentives.ca/ to learn more about Richard Moore and SR&ED. The SR&ED Seminar will take place from 11am-Noon on December 1st, 2009, in Suite 7000 SFU Harbour Centre, 515 W.
