Emetrics back channel on Twitter and Twemes

May

2008

I’ll be at eMetrics on Sunday and Monday next week and I think I’ll follow Jeremiah’s lead and not load up on gear. The iphone and a power cord should do it. I won’t live blog – Emetrics Marketing Optimization Summit I’ll live Tweet instead. I won’t be in the sessions but you can find me in the halls.

I’ve been on Twitter for quite a while but never found much value beyond the amusement and entertainment until I went to Media Re:Public where I and a bunch of others were tweeting tidbits from the sessions. Turned out to be a great and fun way to get a sense of all that was happening.

Twitter Twemes.com

There are lots of tools that you can use to keep track of Twitter but my current favorite is Twemes.com – you can see their widget at the right with the emetrics tweme (Twitter-meme). Mostly because it’s using the same idea that I had back in November ‘07 – although I can’t take credit for the idea it is still cool.

So, IF you are going to be at eMetrics in San Francisco next week AND you’re on Twitter (if you’re not – why not?) then use #emetrics whenever you tweet about the event and you can keep track of it (live even) at twemes.com/emetrics or grab the RSS feed for your reader, whatever you want. :)

We can share ideas/thoughts/opinions of the event that way (the discussion can get pretty lively) and those not fortunate enough to be at Emetrics can read about what’s going on…

June Dershewitz saw my Tweet and has on-boarded the idea.

Also joining in so far are:

So what about it? Will you play the Tweme game too? Leave a comment or tweet me with your thoughts!

Yes, the conference conversation has moved to Twitter. The wrap up posts happen online, after beers on da blogs.


@jowyang certainly seems that way for the influencers.
Thanks for stopping by! Will you be stopping by #emetrics next week?


I think Rene and I have convinced Mike Grehan that Twitter has its place as a legitimate channel. In the next couple of days, we’ll see if he’s convinced enough to partake.

Looking forward to seeing you Clint. It’s been a while!


@JimSterne: Groovy! Looking forward to seeing you too.

The Twittersphere rocked and rolled through the whole of the eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit. Something like 100 messages a day made my phone and my head vibrate. As I was unable to see all the sessions, it was great having a live opinion feed on what I was missing. Thank for promoting this Clint – it made a real difference and it was GREAT to see you there!


@JimSterne: Happy to do it! It was, after all, enlightened self-interest :) Maybe next time we can get more people to use the #emetrics tag so that the whole conversation can be captured in one place.
Oh, and while I am sure that you heard this often enough … better (free ;) ) wifi in the conference rooms and/or conference rooms with better cell reception would be appreciated by participants AND helpful to the cause.
