Intro to Twitter
Twitter is like a large discussion forum of very short comments. You can either simply read and follow, or you can chose to participate yourself. In order to participate you need a profile. Every Twitter user has a profile. Here is ours: @EuropeanCancer. It's called a handle or a username. Everybody in Twitter has a profile page.
Here is ours: http://twitter.com/#!/EuropeanCancer
What you can do in Twitter:
- Follow / unfollow people: If you like a certain individuals or organisations you can follow them.
- Reply: If you want to reply privately to one person you have to use their @username
- Whether you reply or tweet you can only use 140 characters in your message
- Use hashtags: In order to participate in specific debates/threads you can read and tweet with a #tag. E.g. #ecco2011. We recommend only using maximum 1-3 #tags per tweet
- Retweet / favorite: you can "recycle" what others tweet by retweeting or favoriting their tweets
- Combine: you can combine a reply with a #tag in same tweet
- Search for trends, topics and news: As Twitter is a great tool for live ongoing messaging you can always search for keywords that interest you and promptly interact with a topic

LinkedIn introduction
LinkedIn is a professional networking service, used mainly for business and career-related purposes.
A user profile on LinkedIn consists of the user’s CV that connections are able to view at any time. The CV can be enhanced by personal recommendations from the user’s connections.
The platform enables registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people with whom they have some level of relationship, called Connections. Users can invite anyone to become a connection. However, some degree of relationship is needed in order for users to be able to connect.

What you can do on LinkedIn:
- Build up a contact network consisting of direct connections, including your connections’ acquaintances (termed second-degree connections), but also the connections of second-degree connections (termed third-degree connections). This can be used to gain an introduction to someone a person wishes to know through a mutual contact.
- Extend career prospects (i.e. find jobs, people and business opportunities recommended by someone in your contact network).
- Employers can list jobs and search for potential candidates.
- Job seekers can review the profile of hiring managers and discover which of their existing contacts can introduce them.
- Users can post their own profile photos and view photos of others to aid in identification.
- Users can follow different companies and receive notifications about the new hires and offers available.
- Users can save (i.e. bookmark) job offers they are interested in.
The featured LinkedIn Answers (similar to Yahoo! Answers) allows users to ask questions for the community to answer. This feature is free and generally business-oriented with the identity of the people asking and answering questions being displayed.
