Welcome to the TWiST List for Nov. 5-Nov.11

Next Thursday, Nov. 17, Jason is going to be teaching a Master Class in Social Media live at Mahalo's new HQ--want to come? Well then, bad news--it's sold out. But you would have been able to attend if you were in the TWiST Backchannel Producers' Program.

That's because Backchannel Producers get first dibs on everything--tickets to events, conferences Jason is speaking at, seats in the studio for a TWIST taping. If that sounds like something you'd love to be a part of, join the nearly 200 people who are livin' the good life on the list.
