Wouldn't it have been cool if Mr. Rogers had been reading his Twitterfeed and realized all us kids really just wanted more time in make-believe and less in the bakery? Good stuff Ian.

I love the Mr. Rogers picture! Excellent! Here are some additional Twitter tips that I think are worth sharing: (1) Encourage participants to use your Twitter Hashtag on all social media sites (flickr & youtube) to make it easy to identify and aggregate discussions, pictures, videos, comments, etc about your event and event content. (2) Use Twitter as part of a backchannel strategy to give participants another mode of communication, collaboration and sharing at your event. The discussion, links, etc created in the twitter chats can be archived and mined to develop additional insights. The backchannel could be used during webinars/webcasts and the face2face component. (3) Get your speakers, panelists and others to tweet about the event. I am now hearing that some events are getting a lift from people tweeting. Great List! I look forward to future posts on this topic! - Sam Hi Ian -
