Twitter So Changes The Dynamic Of A Conference

Posted September 12th, 2008 by Jeremy Schoemaker

This has to be one of the coolest conferences I have been to… I keep walking my monitors of twitter and seeing everyone talking about the event and occasionally a shoemoney mention… here is the last 100 or so shoemoney mentions:

BTW you should really start at the bottom of this post and work your way up for the full effect ;)

@Timothy_Jones (Tim Jones) says:
@shoemoney That was very cool of them! ML is awesome!
@OwenO (Owen O’Malley) says:
@shoemoney Jeremy… I got to watch your keynote speach on ustream…great job. Hope your kids have fun at Disney.
@mvndrvrt (Michael VanDervort) says:
@shoemoney it lets us talk to the world and each other silently while listening
@theNetImp (theNetImp) says:
@shoemoney you left her alone with the kids at disney? You sir are a brave man, I’d never want to handle kids by myself at disney. ;-)
@dan_patterson (Dan Patterson) says:
@shoemoney so are they changing it for the better?
@shoemoney (ShoeMoney) says:
@marketleverage put my wife and kids up at disney while i am here doing the panels and talks to day… i <3 them
@shoemoney (ShoeMoney) says:
izeafest has twitterboards and live chat from ustream everywhere its very cool
@shoemoney (ShoeMoney) says:

@starryskye81 (starryskye81) says:
@IzeaFest .. Shoemoney just totally gave props to Perez Hilton!
@at1mp (Arthur Wilbur) says:
bloggers who can be engaging online aren’t necessarily nearly as much so in person. @shoemoney is good though.

    You had strong praise for Twitter in your remarks so it only seems proper that your keynote be documented in real time on it.

    Jeremy,

    You are so right about Twitter changing the dynamic. And at this conference, it was not just Twitter, it was the Ustream chat shown on the TV screens. Ustream was the official channel and Twitter was the “backchannel.” People seemed to be a little nicer in the Ustream chat than in the Twitter messages.

    I saw you checking out the TV screen during the afternoon panel, probably a good idea to make sure you were staying on topic.

    It really makes the speaker be on their game. I expand on this a little in my blog post.

    Its like its not just you and who you talk to anymore. Its like a delayed live chat between everyone at the conference, evolving as the conference progresses. Its like experiencing the conference from many different angles and perspectives all at once, or so it seems to me. Thats really cool.

    Very cool, Jeremy. I’m not sure what they’re thinking charging just $50 for a conference like that, but looks like it’s great stuff bit some big names. I checked out your keynote this morning and I thought you did a fantastic job. First time keynoting? I’m sure many will follow. It wasn’t as good as your presentation at the latest Elite Retreat but still very inspiring.

    Twitter sure is changing how conferences are run. Ditto on Steven’s comment up there. An awesome speech there. The video was a bit slow for me, but the sound was working fine here, so at least I got to hear a good portion of it. Thanks!

      It’s interesting that a person can read through the talk on twitter and take note of all the major bullet points from the speech, especially when it’s non-coordinated bits of multiple conversations.

        Not to mention you also have to refresh… I wish twitter was more like Digg Spy.
