Hi David! Great to see you here. I loved the Twebinar. I'd love to see more live Q&A/discussion
AmberCadabra

maybe even responding to questions that are submitted in advance if live is too hard to follow

Hi Amber - thanks yes others had similar feedback.

wifi at the coffeshop was a mistake. slow video buffering meant that I missed the end of each video segment.
davidalston
17 years ago
We have most of the content pre-taped from the pros but might be able to include more Brogan live time for Q&A perhaps?
davidalston
17 years ago
Hey there Bruce. Yeah, others with Wifi connections had similar problems. Probably should recommend larger bandwidth on next one.

didn't get to spend 2 much time on the last one..are there pen slots for other speakers,,have someone in mind
justinmwhitaker

I liked the twebinar. Think the videos should be available before hand so people can follow along without having to stream...
myklroventine thinks
17 years ago
the Twitter widget displayed was hard to follow and a bit distracting.
myklroventine says
17 years ago
I was on a fast connection, so had no video problems.
justinmwhitaker
17 years ago
also, need an interface which allows the video and the chat on the same screen. spent too much time flipping and lost some converstation
davidalston
17 years ago
George, sorry you missed parts of the last one - gonna get the link to the rebroadcast soon to share so can catch up.
myklroventine thinks
17 years ago
there should be a twitter account/tag for discussions about the twebinar from folks involved & a diff 1 for tech complaints.
davidalston
17 years ago
George - as for speakers we are keeping a list for the next series so let me know. david [at} radian6.com
davidalston
17 years ago
Justin, good thought only if the videos aren't in sync the concurrent convo could become confusing. Am I right?
davidalston
17 years ago
Twitter stream in the same window was definitely brought up as well. We are looking into that - the one we had onscreen was up and down
georgedearing says
17 years ago
thanks David..also, what if a client wanted 2 launch its won twebinar series..that something you guys do?
davidalston
17 years ago
myklroventine - good point on the sep tech address - had lots of votes for that.
Connie

David, thanks for polling the community here. Love the way Radian6 engages with social media.
davidalston

georgedearing - you aren't the first to ask today :-) Let's chat and see what's possible. chrisbrogan thoughts from Crosstech?
davidalston
17 years ago
thanks connie - well I really loved how your plurkshop idea took off and wanted to try it out myself. Lovin' it.
Connie says
17 years ago
the plurkshops have been amazing. Love to have you join us. I did not get to attend Twebinar last time. Won't miss another one!
myklroventine
17 years ago
thanks davidalston for listening :-D
ggroovin wishes
17 years ago
perhaps there had been fewer speakers speaking more deeply. Found the Twebinar didn't engage me as much as had hoped for that reason.
davidalston
17 years ago
Thanks connie Yes we'd definitely love to have you part of the next Twebinar conversation (and interviewed for a future series perhaps?)
vargasl says
17 years ago
what I loved about the twebinar was diverse speakers-not all A-Listers!
davidalston
17 years ago
myklroventine - thanks for your ideas - I love listening - comes with the territory I guess :-)
davidalston
17 years ago
ggroovin - I hear ya. I found the longer interviews would also give more time for Twitter discussion too.
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
davidalston The case studies were particularly valuable. The SM space in general needs more and more testimonials about what's working
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
and even what has bombed. i'd find that interesting.
davidalston
17 years ago
aaronMSB - Great point. Myklroventine and others mentioned that as well. Should be easy enough to do.
davidalston loves
17 years ago
that all of this great feedback will be here in one list for me to work from for the next twebinar. Lovin' the plurkshop.

i agree that live Q&A would have been nice. Good variety in speakers...
Kerryg
17 years ago
bit too much content, not enough depth. Including the twitter stream on scream with with vids would major improvement as would a live Q&A.
fweetieb thinks
17 years ago
the main issue i heard from attendees at my office was too many screens to follow
davidalston
17 years ago
vargusl - Thanks. With so many great speakers to shoot at the conferences we shot at it was hard to stop at 30 or so :-)
fweetieb
17 years ago
but thats the nature of twitter...for good and bad
davidalston wishes
17 years ago
there was a reply button on plurk.
davidalston
17 years ago
AmberCadabra - thanks - I think case studies really are great for "turning on the lightbulbs" for those just wading into social media.
davidalston
17 years ago
fweetieb - we may look for a way to integrate the screens somehow - we have a thought on this but open to ideas.
pchaney says
17 years ago
I love the concept. Blogged about it. I think using Plurk would make thread easier to follow.
pchaney says
17 years ago
I think some type of app combining twitter and summize screens would make for better following.
davidalston
17 years ago
kerryg - thanks - sums it up well in this plurkshop thus far. Interviews were prerecorded but maybe could feature deeper ones?
davidalston
17 years ago
pchaney - yes, thanks for that blog (saw it on the BB while camping this weekend) - I'm thinking plurk might be cool as well.
davidalston
17 years ago
pchaney - yeah - the 3 screens were a bit hard to manipulate - especially from an admin side too :-) (cool hat pic btw)
justinmwhitaker
17 years ago
davidalston thinking that if Chris is there saying "we are going to do part 3" again, then people can run their local copy
justinmwhitaker
17 years ago
and then participate in the conversation via the browser. I could also resize the player and the browser so I don't miss abything
LaraK says
17 years ago
keep speaker IDs on screen so we know who is who (switching over to Summize screen meant missed some screen ID slates)

his cool hat. Should see the straw one too. (LOL)
davidalston
17 years ago
justinmwhitaker - hmmm, interesting. Will have to look into that as that would have some advantages.
davidalston
17 years ago
larak - yes, that was another great idea and a simple one to do too. Will do for sure.
davidalston
17 years ago
pchaney - is that an Indiana Jones one? I'll have to update my pic with mine on too :-)
AmberCadabra

AaronMSB you won't have to anymore. Check out DebInDenver's tonight
bruceturner

AaronMSB If you view from the timeline, you won't have to reload.
davidalston
17 years ago
aaronMSB - I'm using a firefox plugin for auto-reloading that helps a bit - tinyurl.com/32wqmn
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
davidalston that's a great little plugin too
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
codyrobert helped create a quick app that reformats the plurk page into a more IRC chat style window but is still live in the timeline.
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
davidalston you guys certainly aren't getting much help from Twitter lately LOL
davidalston
17 years ago
aaronMSB - Firefox still gives me issues on occasion but less so now that I'm on 3.0
davidalston
17 years ago
ambercadabra - that was another reason I wanted to test drive plurk today ;-)
Connie
17 years ago
David, I would love to be on the speaker roster for one of the Twebinars. Let me know how I could contribute to the discussion.
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
As a Connie fan to the hilt, I wholeheartedly endorse that idea! :-)
Connie
17 years ago
BTW, David we have already talked about doing a plurkshop on social media measurement after I mentioned Radian 6 several times.
Connie
17 years ago
Care to host that plurkshop for us? I'll gladly be a participant rather than moderator if you're available. We haven't set a time.
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
DavidAlston you'd be perfect!
davidalston
17 years ago
connie - would love to have you part of the Twebinar discussion during this series too. On Twitter for sure.
Connie
17 years ago
Just keep Twitter running for me, David, and I'll be glad to be part of that Twebinar. :-)
davidalston
17 years ago
connie - Yes I would love to host the social media measurement plurkshop. I was interested in getting involved after reading the thread...
davidalston
17 years ago
ambercadabra - you are too kind :-)
Connie
17 years ago
Wonderful, David. I mentioned Radian6 the other night and everybody wanted to know more. AmberCadabra and DebinDenver are scheduling.
davidalston
17 years ago
connie - If I could keep Twitter running I could probably achieve hero status - but alas I am just a mere mortal :-)
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
I'm scheduling? LOL well DavidAlston if you're really interested in hosting a plurkshop perhaps next week, i'll defer to your schedule
davidalston
17 years ago
ambercadabra - let me check the schedule...just a sec.
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
Connie - i have a feeling this one's gonna be a big 'un. :-)
davidalston
17 years ago
ambercadabra - my schedule is wide open every afternoon next week for a social media monitoring plurkshop - let me know.
davidalston
17 years ago
waynesutton - did you happen to make the twebinar last week - any feedback?
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
davidalston fantastic! How about next Thursday, you pick the time. I'll email you with a few other details abt the chat thing
davidalston
17 years ago
ambercadabra Thursday it is then. 2PM EDT would be great. Let me know if this works.
davidalston thinks
17 years ago
today's workshop on feedback on the Twebinar series is wrapping up? Anyone else on their ideas?
davidalston loves
17 years ago
all of the feedback on how to improve for the next Twebinar. Any other thoughts?
davidalston

Thanks AaronMSB :-)

sorry I missed the conversation. I was in the ocean, teaching my daughter how to body surf.
chrisbrogan says

I'm trying to read 70+ comments really fast. These Plurkshops are neat.
davidalston
17 years ago
chrisbrogan - I knew you were and glad you have been spending time with the fam. All the feedback recorded here so no prob. Lovin plurk.
AmberCadabra
17 years ago
davidalston all good. I'll shoot you an email and start telling folks to join us.
pchaney thinks
17 years ago
davidalston is da bomb for doing this plurkshop. Lends credibility to the concept.
davidalston
17 years ago
chrisbrogan - really great way to sum up some helpful feedback for us to use on the next twebinar. Thx to all for their thoughts.
pchaney asks
17 years ago
chrisbrogan what he thinks as well.
davidalston
17 years ago
pchaney - I have you to thank for raising the awareness of the concept since it was your post on the weekend that made me aware. thx
davidalston
17 years ago
ambercadabra - sounds great. david [at} radian6.com is how to reach me when you have the deets. thx for everything today.

I thought the Twebinar was a successful medium to connect and network with new people. I know I met a ton of new friends.
chrisbrogan feels
17 years ago
happy to better understand these plurkshops things, and grateful for people's twebinar feedback.
DaveMurr feels
17 years ago
that twitter may not have been the best application to carry conversations of the webinar, maybe Plurk is better for that?
davidalston
17 years ago
chrisbrogan - excited about the feedback today and have some ideas to share with you when you are back from well-deserved vacay with fam.
chrisbrogan shares
17 years ago
the term "Plurkinar?"
davidalston
17 years ago
davemurr - thx Dave. Yes a lot of people were saying they picked up many new follows as a side benefit.
davidalston
17 years ago
chrisbrogan pchaney - actually I think Paul through out the term already this weekend in his post. Like it.
davidalston
17 years ago
davemurr - after this plurkshop today I'm starting to think the same thing :-)
Connie
17 years ago
David, just sent you a private msg. If you can't see it in main timeline, change setting at right to only private plurks.
chrisbrogan says
17 years ago
Okay, gotta bag. Have fun, tough guys. : )
jalperin thinks
17 years ago
Twebinars would be more useful if they were just multi-hour, but not real-time. Peruse at leisurely pace, review as necessary.
davidalston
17 years ago
connie - just sent you back a message - hope it worked :-)
davidalston
17 years ago
jalperin - Hmm, tell me more - would we miss the "shared moment" feedback on Twitter that way tho?
davidmullen says
17 years ago
had trouble paying attn to twitter side and really absorbing the video portion. i stopped with twitter and just watched video.
davidalston
17 years ago
davidmullen - good point, certainly was a challenge. Perhaps we could shift back in forth with a bit of overlap somehow?
davidmullen says
17 years ago
could work. i understand its a work in progress. i'll give it some thought and share any ideas i have with you and chris.
Beth Harte says
17 years ago
Sorry to be late to post, and maybe this was covered. But it seemed like Twitter was used to just recap the Twebinar. Not to converse.
Beth Harte says
17 years ago
I thought it was interesting w/lots of great info., but I didn't need a recap of it as I was watching it. Maybe I am missing the ponint?
fatwolf55 says

I come from china.And i need David Alston's Email.We are translating his article,and we want to publish it.so i need to contact him.
jblossom says
17 years ago
blogged most of my thoughts earlier tinyurl.com/4cgwld
jblossom says
17 years ago
summize helped to organize comments but signal-to-noise ratio was rough to handle
Beth Harte says
17 years ago
summize is good, but it's still not a conversation. I like the idea of a live Q&A.
Beth Harte says
17 years ago
or perhaps, watch the webinar and then tweet/plurk the Qs in for As from Chris?
jblossom says
17 years ago
bethharte agreeing that the lack of a conversational mode with presenters was huge minus. Need a chat plugin for webcon to make it work
davidalston
17 years ago
bethharte - great ideas. Definitely looking at ways to shift the focus to and from the content and conversation would make sense.
davidalston
17 years ago
bethharte - agreed we could have had more directed convo. We may try to do more live on the next one.

that you are tweaking the twebinars by asking for customer input.

Nah, not karma. Someone here made it for me. I'd never have the patience to earn enough karma for that.
