Editor's Notes
- Thanks for coming! Our presentation is largely based on two panels we attended at ONA: 1. Top tech trends you haven't heard of (by Amy Webb, a reporter-turned-consultant who advises media companies looking to utilize new tech) 2. Using Twitter for Live Blogging We'll talk a bit about these different technologies - and focus on things like Twitter more at the end - and talk a little about possible ways we could employ the trends here. Tech guys, speak up in regard to what we're doing now to implement/consider some of these technologies. We've also got some handouts, which we'll pass out later.
- It’s all about Twitter now: its usage has increased by 485% over the past 7 months. Twitter allows you to keep in constant contact with others and get up-to-the-minute updates using your mobile device. Yammer - similar idea; USN has a feed as does lots of other places. It's good for sharing notes on what projects people are working on. Lifestreaming has its disadvantages: You can sign up for Spokeo to track Amazon purchases, flickr photos, MySpace messages... And it's not always used well... One colleague agrees with this: "Twitter is, for the most part, an unnecessary distraction in an already information-overloaded age." USN uses: Live blogging? Others?
