Tweetstream from #SxSW Core Conversation "Be Heard: How To Innovate At Large Companies #hackthemachine"
Monday, March 21, 2011 at 3:25PM Previously, I posted on how I prepared for moderating the "Be Heard: How To Innovate At Large Companies" in my previous blog post.
In this post, I'm display the tweetstream from the talk.
Now, normally, I'm the person generating the tweetstream -- I like taking notes of the proceedings for topics I'm interested in. And at conferences like #SxSW, it's incredible to be part of a lively backchannel. When there's a group of attentive people tweeting, you can almost get the gestalt of the talk, just by viewing the tweets.
I'll be posting more on the research that William Hertling (@hertling) and I have on this in a future post.
But in the meantime, here's the Twitterstream for our #hackthemachine talk.
PS: It is surprisingly difficult to copy/paste a tweetstream into a blog. I had to write a Ruby app to do this. Anyone interested in seeing how I did this?
