Back in the old days, when we came up with a new idea that we wanted to  use in a speech, we really didn’t have a lot of choices when it came to  trying out our new idea. 

Oh sure, there were family and friends, but you  know as well as I do that because of the importance of public speaking  they would never tell you if one of your ideas was really bad. What we  were desperately missing was a test audience – one that could  give us honest feedback on our speech idea. 

Well, fast forward to today  and it turns out that now we all have what we’ve been looking for – a social media audience.
