Disclosure, this is work-related
It’s really cool when you can take an idea and make it more interesting. I proposed shooting a webinar series with David Alston from Radian6. I’ve been such a fan of the app that I wanted to introduce it to more folks via my company’s webinar offerings. He said that he was up for it, and we went out to the SNCR New Comm Forum, and also O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 Expo, and interviewed dozens of folks (over 30!).
Where it became cool was this: David says, “You know what would be cool? What if we could integrate Twitter into the webinar? Like, you know, have everyone be able to talk with the speakers, before, during, and after the webinars? It’d be like a relationship.” He pauses, cocks his head like a smart man, and says, “Twebinar.”
I said, “Register the domain!”
And so, here it is.
But the idea isn’t the steak; it’s the sizzle.
The Twebinar covers Game Changing Moves: Doing Business With Social Media and takes place Thursday the 26th of June at 2PM ET. It’s free to attend, and might be of value to your organization, should you be considering using social media tools. Also, it’s the first of three.
But remember, we’re going to encourage you to join Twitter and be part of the conversation. You’ll make 35 or so new friends almost instantly, and be able to follow the back channel conversation while watching the interviews. Read more about that here.
I think it’s a fun way to integrate webinars and Twitter, mixing a presentation technology with a conversation tool. I’m excited to be part of it, and I think it relates to what we’re doing in general with helping people understand social media tools and technologies.
What do you think? Interesting?
