Twitter Updates for 2008-04-12

• http://www.sciencedebate2008.com #
• headed to @barcampbham with @anothertomorrow (Aaron) and @mallorymartin, then to WAPI to meet @chaseathompson and @usgeeks (Sam). #
• is @barcampbirmingham listening to @commonthread @jmccay talk on Ruby on Rails. #
• Now it's Ed Noles (who's not on Twitter?!) demoing how 2 setup Adwords. @JeremyFlint n here 2, Twittering from the back. @BarCampBirmingham #
• @JeremyFlint - I got essentially 500 free ad hits on Facebook, network and demograph specific, since FB ads let you pay per click or CPM. #
• Is at (correction) @barcampbham not @barcampbirmingham. #
• is listening to @bhamterminal talk about the open sharing of news. The self-made media? #
• @chaseathompson @usgeeks. help. We're locked out. :) #
• @BarCampBham (BarCampBirmingham2) with Doug Turnure (M$) on How to Have a More Successful Career In Software. Downstairs. #
• To listen to M$ talk on being "successful" or to break out and head upstairs to talk new media with @Mulsanne gang. Yeah, going upstairs. #
• Wondering is Twitter the "wisdom of crowds" effect in action? I now Google less and read Twitter more. #barcampbirmingham2 #
• followed a bunch of #barcampbirmingham2 people into a Twitter talk. Now downstairs in a New Media "debate" talk. #
• #barcampbirmingham2 @acnatta vs. Kyle Whitmire debating "new media." Kyle doesn't have twitter either? Sad day. #
• My ? to New Media debate: 7% of 18 to 29 yr olds read newspapers. Isn't paper dead (literally)? What we need is more original reporting. #
• Kyle Whitmire says that Craigslist is source of print media implosion. Some papers get 30% of revenue from classifieds. #barcampbirmingham2 #
• Eh, "new media" debate = fail. Sorry. Big names, but no content. Mostly fluff, rambling, and self plugging. #barcampbirmingham2 #
• listening to @jeremyflint chair the #barcampbirmingham2 next year planning talk. Following many new people. Not sure who they are yet. #
• #barcampbirmingham2 My thoughts 4 next: wikify schedule. 2 much running back 2 check. Shorter twitter tag #barcampbham3. Like 45 min talks. #
• #barcampbirmingham2 @barcampbham - Idea for next: ustream (stream) each room. Aggregate on BarCampBham page. cf. http://www.watchbol.com #
• Ok, @acnatta is right. Streaming @barcampbham live on the internet might cannibalize the F2F attendance. #
• Had a good time @barcampBham mtg people. Now out w/ @MalloryMartin & @anothertomorrow b4 heading home. Happy i won a php mysql book. Thx! #
