Cross-Culture Tweets – Week 38 of 2009

Culture Tips & International Links

Here is the weekly account of my social media marketing activities. As usual there are many useful, interesting and fun cross-cultural and internatonal links in the tweets. And the process for the Twitter Interviews is running smoothly.

This Coming Week’s Cross-Cultural Twitter Interviews

As usual, the Cross-Cultural Interviews are in 2 parts:

• Part 1 – Blog post interview
• Part 2 – Twitter interview with 10 set questions for everyone later the same day

Next Week’s Twitter Interviews: 23rd Sept. at 17:30 GMT – @transdomo 24th Sept. at 16:30 GMT – @CultureMatters Find us & join the conversation with #CKinterview
