Speakers: Put your Twitter Handle on the Windows taskbar!

If you speak often at conferences, sharing your screen to demo things, this could be helpful:

Twitter Handle on the Windows taskbar

Throughout your presentation, the audience will be able to see your Twitter Handle, reminding them to include it with tweets about the event. I used to include it in the slides, but this is better, because it works also with live demonstrations where no slides are being showed. Which is incidentally my favorite way to do presentations 🙂

Now how can you do it? Quite easy, you open the Windows Control Panel and click on Region and Language. Then click on Additional settings:

Region and Language 1

Then you insert your Twitter Handle (or any other text you like to see on the taskbar) as AM and PM symbol. Make sure to select Time formats with trailing tt:

Region and Language 2

That’s it. If you want the font size as large as on the first picture above, that can be done here:

I did that with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Hope you find it useful 🙂
