As a writer, Southsidered, I do agree with you in some respects. When was the last time you received an e-mail that started Hello and contained Please and Thank You?

But, the rush is now on to distinguish yourself as unique in Web 2.0, so if you can take two words and join them to make a hybrid phrase, then you can claim that as your own.

For example, I took the popular term Web 2.0, added it into the fact that the Internet has always been about people, not the technology, and very cleverly moulded that into the phrase Web Who.0! Clever eh? Took all of 10 seconds, that one. I was very proud of myself, and still am to this day.

But, seriously, I do know what you’re saying, and thanks for taking the time to comment.

For the love of God, people…”twebinar”? Hasn’t the English language taken enough abuse in the Internet era? Please, stop the madness!

Excellent feedback. I agree somewhat with, this was a gigantic water cooler & the conversations around the event & connections made were at least as important as the info shared in the Twebinar itself. I think it was a terrific start, though.

BTW- just found out about a position w/ GCI Read-Poland in Austin & sent an inquiry about it. Wish me luck. ;D

Thanks for the feedback, John. All good points.

I struggled with the multi-tasking myself because of the sheer volume of conversations. And, we did want to have everyone attend the single session but ran into some scale limitations because of the huge number of participants. We will definitely see what we can do for the next one there. Leaving the speaker’s twitter ID on screen is a great idea and we had others suggest to leave the graphic up the whole time.

I hope you found the information helpful and made some new connections as a result.
Marcel

Agree with all your points and am impressed with the speed at which you’ve posted a review! I feel that it was a fun event but the value was in the conversation around the content not the actual content, while polished and professional, it didn’t really say anything game changing to me.

Next time out, I’d like to see some harder caste studies, not necessarily with figures attached but with at least some quality feedback from the brand consumer’s involved. I’d also really like to see some practical advice for people knew to this area on how to get started.
