Great opportunity for start-ups at the London Twestival

By

The Twestival event is now a global phenomenon, but as any event grows it can be harder and harder for smaller companies to get involved – which is particularly relevant if you’re dealing with the Twitter ecosystem.

Which is why it’s great that Twestival Local London recognise this and are offering a sponsor slot for less – as long as you’re company, social enterprise or organisation with 6 or less employees, you have a Twitter account and you’re able to run a fun activity at the event on September 10th.

The best activity gets the chance to run their activity and engage with up to 1200 Twestivalees and press people for £300.

The deadline is 11pm on Monday, August 31, so submit your Twestival activity now! And hopefully I’ll see you there…

Microblogging event dedicated to UK Media and Journalists

By

If you’re based in the UK with an interest in Microblogging and journalism, then media140 looks like an essential event.

It’s on May 20th, on the Southbank in London, and features a mix of case studies and panels with journalists from The Times, Guardian, Reuters, Sky News, Journalism.co.uk and Frontline Club. Plus prominent social media bloggers.

Topics will include:
– how to persuade journalists to take and use twitter seriously.
– what is news worthy, how do you recognise it?
– breaking the news, how you can potentially undermine your own news room
– will local community create local news through microblog technologies?
– tools of the trade, what works and what doesn’t?
– is microblogging and twitter really a game changer?

Tickets are £45 and available now. For more details, see the media140 website.

Delayed report on two events

By

In a relunctant admission of poor timekeeping, I just wanted to share some thoughts on a couple of events I was lucky enough to attend last Thursday.

The first MeasurementCamp of 2009 kicked off at 10am, hosted by E-Consultancy. It was good to be back, having missed a couple, and it’s always great to get the chance to tackle hypothetical examples in a group and share ideas and methodologies.  Plus I got to sit next to BBC Working Lunch blog/social networking star Annie Mole… The only downside was the sheer number of people present meant introductions took a hefty chunk of time and left the case study discussion in a bit of a rush.

The other event was the Every Single One of Us Powwow, held at the ICA. It’s probably the most inspirational and exciting event I’ve ever attended – partly because it can be hard to grasp every aspect of ESOOU in words, partly because of the incomparable dynamo that is Jonathan MacDonald, and also because there was a real sense of purpose in the room.

It also meant I got to see, and occasional meet, some cool virtual people in the flesh, including WhatleyDude, Alfie Dennen, and the Herdmeister himself.

In all seriousness, pretty much any one of the people that spoke on the night would have been the highlight of most other events, so having them all in one room was pretty interesting.  As was a mid-presentation hug from Jonathan…

The site has more details, videos, slides, interviews and details on everything to do with esoou.
