I’m a character @ #140conf
- 9 Comment
I haven’t really thought of myself as a character, but apparently that’s what I am.
On June 16 and 17, myself, along with 139 other Twitter folk, (a.k.a. Twitter characters) will invade New York City to discuss all things Twitter at #140conf. This means rubbing elbows with the likes of Jack Dorsey (co-founder of Twitter) to CNN’s Rick Sanchez and all those in between. (The conference is an open for registration, the 140 characters are featured participants.)
The original premise for the event was to explore the effects of Twitter on celebrity, media, advertising and politics. This conference has grown so rapidly that there are now many other topics (and celebrities) getting involved. #140conf will look at Twitter as a platform and some of the industries which have been disrupted by the advent of Twitter. That’s right. It isn’t all about drinking the Twitter Kool-Aid.
So what is the conference? It is the brainchild of Jeff Pulver and here it is in his own words:
I will be live tweeting all of my adventures at #140conf. From photos of the people I meet to golden nuggets of social media advice. You can follow along on my Twitter and Facebook profiles.
Will you be joining me there? It’s not too late to register. See you there!

Ahh well I am glad to hear that you at least will be going and keeping us up to date via twitter. I do live near NYC, as my father works there, but I am afraid for me the ticket price is a little bit too much, hehe.
Till then,
Jean

I do not want to use a seperate site like Twitblogs or Twitwall or Twitlonger. I just want my posts to be longer or to be able to have a blog on there. Is there an app for that?

That’s definitely a great opportunity. I’ve been underestimating the power of Twitter myself. After reading that Dell made nearly $3M with Twitter this past year, my perspective has definitely shifted.

@Invisalign cost: wow I didn’t know that. A number like that really makes me rethink my whole approach to twitter as well. I have been a bit intimidated of it as something that I don’t know how to take full advantage of.
