    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
  • davidalston
    Hi Amber - thanks yes others had similar feedback.
  • bruceturner says
    wifi at the coffeshop was a mistake. slow video buffering meant that I missed the end of each video segment.
  • davidalston
    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
    Hey there Bruce. Yeah, others with Wifi connections had similar problems. Probably should recommend larger bandwidth on next one.
  • georgedearing is
    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
    the Twitter widget displayed was hard to follow and a bit distracting.
  • myklroventine says
    I was on a fast connection, so had no video problems.
  • justinmwhitaker
    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
    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
    there should be a twitter account/tag for discussions about the twebinar from folks involved & a diff 1 for tech complaints.
  • davidalston
    George - as for speakers we are keeping a list for the next series so let me know. david [at} radian6.com
  • davidalston
    Justin, good thought only if the videos aren't in sync the concurrent convo could become confusing. Am I right?
  • davidalston
    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
    thanks David..also, what if a client wanted 2 launch its won twebinar series..that something you guys do?
  • Connie
    David, thanks for polling the community here. Love the way Radian6 engages with social media.
  • davidalston
    thanks connie - well I really loved how your plurkshop idea took off and wanted to try it out myself. Lovin' it.
  • Connie says
    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!
  • ggroovin wishes
    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
    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
    what I loved about the twebinar was diverse speakers-not all A-Listers!
  • davidalston
    myklroventine - thanks for your ideas - I love listening - comes with the territory I guess :-)
  • davidalston
    ggroovin - I hear ya. I found the longer interviews would also give more time for Twitter discussion too.
  • AmberCadabra
    davidalston The case studies were particularly valuable. The SM space in general needs more and more testimonials about what's working
  • AmberCadabra
    and even what has bombed. i'd find that interesting.
  • davidalston
    aaronMSB - Great point. Myklroventine and others mentioned that as well. Should be easy enough to do.
  • davidalston loves
    that all of this great feedback will be here in one list for me to work from for the next twebinar. Lovin' the plurkshop.
  • fweetieb is
    i agree that live Q&A would have been nice. Good variety in speakers...
  • Kerryg
    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
    the main issue i heard from attendees at my office was too many screens to follow
  • davidalston
    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
    but thats the nature of twitter...for good and bad
  • davidalston wishes
    there was a reply button on plurk.
  • davidalston
    AmberCadabra - thanks - I think case studies really are great for "turning on the lightbulbs" for those just wading into social media.
  • davidalston
    fweetieb - we may look for a way to integrate the screens somehow - we have a thought on this but open to ideas.
  • pchaney says
    I love the concept. Blogged about it. I think using Plurk would make thread easier to follow.
  • pchaney says
    I think some type of app combining twitter and summize screens would make for better following.
  • davidalston
    kerryg - thanks - sums it up well in this plurkshop thus far. Interviews were prerecorded but maybe could feature deeper ones?
  • davidalston
    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
    pchaney - yeah - the 3 screens were a bit hard to manipulate - especially from an admin side too :-) (cool hat pic btw)
  • justinmwhitaker
    davidalston thinking that if Chris is there saying "we are going to do part 3" again, then people can run their local copy
  • justinmwhitaker
    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
    keep speaker IDs on screen so we know who is who (switching over to Summize screen meant missed some screen ID slates)
  • pchaney likes
    his cool hat. Should see the straw one too. (LOL)
  • davidalston
    justinmwhitaker - hmmm, interesting. Will have to look into that as that would have some advantages.
  • davidalston
    larak - yes, that was another great idea and a simple one to do too. Will do for sure.
  • davidalston
    pchaney - is that an Indiana Jones one? I'll have to update my pic with mine on too :-)
  • bruceturner
    AaronMSB If you view from the timeline, you won't have to reload.
  • AmberCadabra
    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.
  • davidalston
    aaronMSB - Firefox still gives me issues on occasion but less so now that I'm on 3.0
  • Connie
    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
    As a Connie fan to the hilt, I wholeheartedly endorse that idea! :-)
  • Connie
    BTW, David we have already talked about doing a plurkshop on social media measurement after I mentioned Radian 6 several times.
  • Connie
    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.
  • davidalston
    connie - would love to have you part of the Twebinar discussion during this series too. On Twitter for sure.
  • Connie
    Just keep Twitter running for me, David, and I'll be glad to be part of that Twebinar. :-)
  • davidalston
    connie - Yes I would love to host the social media measurement plurkshop. I was interested in getting involved after reading the thread...
  • Connie
    Wonderful, David. I mentioned Radian6 the other night and everybody wanted to know more. AmberCadabra and DebinDenver are scheduling.
  • davidalston
    connie - If I could keep Twitter running I could probably achieve hero status - but alas I am just a mere mortal :-)
  • AmberCadabra
    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
    ambercadabra - my schedule is wide open every afternoon next week for a social media monitoring plurkshop - let me know.
  • AmberCadabra
    davidalston fantastic! How about next Thursday, you pick the time. I'll email you with a few other details abt the chat thing
  • davidalston thinks
    today's workshop on feedback on the Twebinar series is wrapping up? Anyone else on their ideas?
  • davidalston loves
    all of the feedback on how to improve for the next Twebinar. Any other thoughts?
  • chrisbrogan says
    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
    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.
  • pchaney thinks
    davidalston is da bomb for doing this plurkshop. Lends credibility to the concept.
  • davidalston
    chrisbrogan - really great way to sum up some helpful feedback for us to use on the next twebinar. Thx to all for their thoughts.
  • davidalston
    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
  • DaveMurr is
    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
    happy to better understand these plurkshops things, and grateful for people's twebinar feedback.
  • DaveMurr feels
    that twitter may not have been the best application to carry conversations of the webinar, maybe Plurk is better for that?
  • davidalston
    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
    the term "Plurkinar?"
  • davidalston
    davemurr - thx Dave. Yes a lot of people were saying they picked up many new follows as a side benefit.
  • davidalston
    davemurr - after this plurkshop today I'm starting to think the same thing :-)
  • Connie
    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
    Okay, gotta bag. Have fun, tough guys. : )
  • jalperin thinks
    Twebinars would be more useful if they were just multi-hour, but not real-time. Peruse at leisurely pace, review as necessary.
  • davidalston
    jalperin - Hmm, tell me more - would we miss the "shared moment" feedback on Twitter that way tho?
  • davidmullen says
    had trouble paying attn to twitter side and really absorbing the video portion. i stopped with twitter and just watched video.
  • davidalston
    davidmullen - good point, certainly was a challenge. Perhaps we could shift back in forth with a bit of overlap somehow?
  • davidmullen says
    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
    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
    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
    summize helped to organize comments but signal-to-noise ratio was rough to handle
  • Beth Harte says
    summize is good, but it's still not a conversation. I like the idea of a live Q&A.
  • Beth Harte says
    or perhaps, watch the webinar and then tweet/plurk the Qs in for As from Chris?
  • jblossom says
    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
    bethharte - great ideas. Definitely looking at ways to shift the focus to and from the content and conversation would make sense.
  • davidalston
    bethharte - agreed we could have had more directed convo. We may try to do more live on the next one.
  • Connie likes
    that you are tweaking the twebinars by asking for customer input.
  • davidalston
    jblossom - thanks for the post of feedback. I had read it but couldn't comment because the captcha was busted at the time.
  • davidalston
    fatwolf55 - david [at} radian6.com is how to reach me. Someone did contact me already about the translation - was it a colleague of yours?
  • davidalston
    connie - this is such a cool way to focus some great feedback. Gears are in motion in my head for other great uses :-P
  • davidalston
    connie - now that's a whole lotta karma to get your own custom smiley. Very impressed.
  • Connie
    Nah, not karma. Someone here made it for me. I'd never have the patience to earn enough karma for that.
