How to Twitter 101.



elephantjournal.com editor Waylon Lewis, twitter #1 in US #green 2010, teaches tweetdeck. Video.

Waylon Lewis, twitter.com/elephantjournal and twitter.com/waylonlewis, has been named most popular green tweeter in the US Shorty Awards two years running. But, sick and tired of explaining how twitter works to friends, he finally made this video with the help of his buddy Mathew Gerson of Sir Richard’s in LA.

Filmed in Venice, California, by my friend Mathew Gerson of Sir Richard’s Condoms—a hip, uplifted company aiming to replace the embarrassment that comes with buying condoms with pride in doing the right thing, targeting gay and female audience instead of just “guys.” Best of all, it donates a condom for every condom you purchase.
