Twebinar #2
July 23rd, 2008 by GCI Canada StaffTwebinar #2 had a bit of a shaky start, but once they gave the mice more grain and stuck ‘em back on the wheel, things got going briskly.
The theme of this one was “Who Really Owns Your Brand?” — a question I think the large corporations of the world largely ignored until Web 2.0 knocked on the door, strolled into the party unannounced, walked up to the bar and demanded, “Make sure you mix it just like I want!”
Twebinar attendees still had to jump around from Twitter to the webinar to Summize Twitter Search (gotta get used to that) to keep track of it all. I’m not a techie — is it hard to embed a live Twitter keyword search in a presentation? Would be cool to see a scrolling ticker tape along the bottom of the screen of real-time comments.
Having chatted to Richard Binhammer — aka RichardatDELL – a few days ago (Dell is a GCI client), it was cool to see him taking part in the Twebinar and chatting to host Chris Brogan about the company’s online strategy in joining the conversation. Timely quote: “We are increasingly entrepreneurial, but we aren’t a small company.”
He’s the one sporting the cowboy hat:

Hey there John,
Thanks for joining us for the Twebinar today. Yes, a few technical glitches for sure that we’ll hopefully iron out for the next one. We are also going to see if we can integrate the stream of tweets into the window as well for the next one - harder than we thought as we had hoped to do it for today’s version.
Glad you enjoyed it. Tweet you on the next one.
Cheers.
David
