Cross-Culture Tweets – Week 41 of 2009

Culture Tips & International Links

As usual you will find a list of this past week’s tweets with fun and useful links or information below. This past week I also worked on a fun social media project but it is still hush hush – stay tuned tomorrow when I’ll be able to share a bit more about it.

The Coming Week’s Cross-Cultural Twitter Interviews

Cross-Cultural Interviews take place in 2 parts:

• Part 1 – First a blog post interview to get to know the interviewee
• Part 2 – Later the same day, the Twitter Interview with 10 fast questions for definitions, tips, advice and favorite links. This usually lasts a half an hour and the transcript of the Twitter Interview is added to the blog post shortly after it ends.
