[U2] International Spectrum Conference - Twitter?
As the Managing Editor of International Spectrum magazine (one of my Part-Time jobs), I'm thinking of Twittering from the Conference next week. Being new this social media, I have to wonder if this is of any interest to people or just adding to the Noise of the Internet. I'd like to hear your opinions.

Note: Correction to your twitter page! http://twitter.com/clifoliver ... Only one L in there... but you probably knew that. :) Personally I never twitter or read them. Despite the fact that Twittering is a global phenomenon (and the last book I worked on culminated with a LINQ-to-Twitter example) I think it's an amazing waste of time. However, that's what people have said about forums, blogs, and many other services until they become almost indispensible when used for good purposes. I'd say introduce a new First, twitter your fingers off, bring the MV market into the 21st century, and let us poor saps who aren't there get a taste of what we missed.

RE: [U2] International Spectrum Conference - Twitter?
I Twitter as another means for people to reach out for me (read: customers). The adverts would have us believe that this is a fun way to keep in touch. However, any medium that gives my customers another way to reach out for me is something that I will consider. Clif, I think this is a great idea, esp. since I will not be able to attend the conference. I will be following. --- Regards, Robert (http://twitter.com/rdunnmiller) -Original Message- From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Symeon Breen Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 04:33 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] International Spectrum Conference - Twitter?

I'd rather see a daily blog on a facebook discussion group. (or even a daily blog posted to this list!) or maybe post a daily digest of the twittering on the facebook group. BTW, there is a facebook group pick developers although not too many of the members look familiar to this list.

RE: [U2] International Spectrum Conference - Twitter?
Yeah it does look that way. Another time and bandwidth wasting tool for web junkies. I guess e-mail, web forums, IM, and SMS are just too complicated and disconnected for normal communications usage. Maybe I should start a new web site that combines them into a web interface with lots of consumer advertising space to waste even more of our dwindling bandwidth.

Clif, Why don't you just set up a new category in the Spectrum blog for conference happenings? It has an RSS feed built-in and anyone can check on it from the intarweb. You can post video segments, if equipment is available, and sound bytes.

RE: [U2] International Spectrum Conference - Twitter?
What's wrong with posting to CDP and/or this mailing list? I'm sure a lot of companies block Facebook and Myspace access due to wasted on-the-clock time. If you were talking about posting video clips and/or doing webcasts, that'd be something I'd be interested in helping with.

You can post video segments, if equipment is available, and sound bytes. I think the point is that there isn't a blog or other mechanism setup, but he already twitters and almost anyone can just visit that one web page. Like I said, I don't personally like the idea of Twitter (social blogs tell you what someone had for breakfast but now twitter allows them to tell you about every bite) but it _is_ a popularly accepted phenomenon and can probably be used for non-silly purposes (like trade shows) if given the chance. I'd say if he has it, do it, and if people aren't interested, tough. Ya can't please everyone all the time. [keeping it light for a friday] Hmmm, now that I think about this, I can easily come up with an interface that will re-post Clif's twitters to a forum (no, not this one *snicker*), to a blog, into Skype chats, or even into someone's MV system. (Anyone want an Excel graph showing how often Clif tweets?) Like my tool that started my morning coffee when I booted D3, or the QM tool that turned off the outside lights after sundown, MV people may not wholly appreciate the utility of such geekiness - but this sort of thing leads to innovation. Obviously people outside of the MV market appreciate this stuff. If nothing other than to turn new profits using familiar tools, maybe MV people should be more in tune with what's possible with technology. (Yes, if anyone is interested in a U2 port for the above mentioned geektilities I'm sure we can come to an arrangement...)

As a complete BTW on this thread - the twitter api is realy simple esp if you are on *nix - just use curl e.g. curl -u username:password message text http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json So also very easy to slot into your Databasic - i use this for some activity logs for some of my Phantoms.

Re: [U2] International Spectrum Conference - Twitter?
My last comment on this before suggesting we now move over to the u2- community list if there are further ideas of a non-technical nature. (I found Symeon's idea of using Twitter to pass along alerts from phantoms rather clever.) I want to thank everyone who shared their comments, both on list and off. There are some other attendees who responded and are now following, so I've created a hashtag #intlspec and defined it on tagal.us. If other's tweet from the Conference and include that (including the #) in their note, anyone interested can see a multi-person commentary on twitter.com (login required) or hashtags.org (no login required). I, for one, am not going to be attempting to blog all the day's events; I don't think Twitter would work very well for that. You won't be hearing (from me, anyway) what I had for breakfast. Like others, I can't wonder why anyone would think anybody but their cardiologist would care. I have in mind observations, notes, comments, and ideas for articles for those who might want to be published. Hopefully some other attendees will join in so there is a variety of opinions and ideas. This is an experiment. Could be fun, might prove useful, may be a flop. As to a blog--I've talked with Nathan Rector and passed your comments and requests along. If anyone wants to continue a discussion of this or other social media has a place in business, let's take it over to u2-community list. Looking forward to seeing some of you at the Conference! Thanks again. Regards, Clif On Mar 20, 2009, at 12:28 PM, Tony G wrote: From: Glen Batchelor Clif, Why don't you just set up a new category in the Spectrum blog for conference happenings?
