Unfortunaely, the ugly side of Twitter at conferences came to light last week — see http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/archives/2009/11/24/spectacle_at_we.html.

As a speaker, I could relate to every one of her feelings, and I would hate to have been in her situation. There’s some very nasty mob mentality going on when this sort of thing happens (think “Lord of the Flies”).

However, I think that being able to control the situation, as you did in your worksop, which was clearly focused on using social media such as Twitter, has a lot of merit.

Thanks for the comment, Mike. I can imagine that people who get hands-on experience with Twitter and Facebook through this type of interaction learn the concepts much better than simply watching slides.

Amelia, I enjoyed your presentation. I’m really motivated to create a portfolio for my wordpress consulting. I liked all the examples you provided — it helped me get some good ideas. Thanks for presenting at the workshop.

Interactive presentations are the way to go. We recently did a hands-on training courses for Twitter and Facebook. Each person had their own workstation and it worked out very well. We believe that it is easier to learn if you hear how it is done, see how it is done and the do it!
The only downside is that it is difficult to find “classrooms” that aren’t crazy expensive.
Thanks for your post!

I loved reading about what you did. I think making presentations interactive using Twitter and other similar services is a great idea. Once the data is collected, it can be analyzed in smart ways using other powerful tools. I want to bring to your attention one such tool, TipTop, the first real-time, semantic, social search engine. The beta version of TipTop is now live at http://FeelTipTop.com For example, the conversations that resulted from your innovative action are all there at http://www.feeltiptop.com/%2523imstc/ sliced and diced in a variety of ways.
