As with all new technology, innovation begs for experimentation and evaluation.<br /><br />I'm encouraging my nonprofit clients to use this at their social fundraising events - walks, galas, etc. I've also see local politicos experiment with it from an economic summit - so if you couldn't go you followed the highlights on twitter from the comfort of home.<br /><br />Combined with posting on Facebook and checking in to an event, the format can be quite powerful....give it a whirl....and watch out for twitter thumb. <br /><br />NancyNancy Thomashttp://www.tapestrycommunications.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32053362.post-58939150062699396752013-01-16T09:44:41.206-05:002013-01-16T09:44:41.206-05:00Some conferences (I wish I recalled who) have begu...Some conferences (I wish I recalled who) have begun inviting skilled live-tweeters to attend, basically as real-time journalists. In essence, they "broadcast" the event live, which, given the nature of Twitter and the usefulness of hashtags, does a great job of raising awareness of the event.<br /><br />It's a real skill, though, and to do it hour after hour is no small chore. <br /><br />I'm waiting for some conference to leverage this by offering a 40% discount for registration to NEXT year's event if you register while the live-tweeting is going on. :)e-Patient Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381434866099596466noreply@blogger.com
