[Viva] Podcast radio show

Tue Nov 8 09:35:06 PST 2011

Thanks to everyone who commented on the video!  If anyone needs to become a
better speaker, I would DEFINITELY recommend Toastmasters.  Make sure it is
one that you feel relaxed in because there are some great ones out there.
 The one I am going to has a lot of people with a sense of humour and that
helps so much.

Sorry to anyone I haven't written back to right away, I am currently doing
up a presentation for the Positive Gathering on Social Media.  It is pretty
basic and I would encourage anyone to come who wants to know more about how
to connect with others with HIV on Social Media channels, e.g. Twitter,
LinkedIn and Facebook.
