Uploaded my talk from 27Dinner Cape Town June 2008 titled, ‘Essence of Micro-Blogging – Twitter & All it’s friends. All images used were found using the creative commons flickr search the rest are screen shots.
Talk was based on the essence of business blogging Miguel blogged about many moons ago and a topic mentioned mentioned during my previous talk at WordPress Cape Town meetup 3. The Twitter and all it’s friends subtitle bit plays on the new Coldplay Album title: Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends stirring (yes, with that spoon) at twitter’s downtime issues (possible solution)
I’ll go into a detailed explanation of each slide in upcoming posts. Here is a quick recap of the 5 topics discussed in my essence of micro-blogging talk:
- Focus
- Consistency
- Look outward
- Look within
- Conversation

I was at the 27dinner!
Enjoyed it thoroughly. Your talk was pretty good. I do think you could’ve expanded a little more on some of the topics, but other than that, I think a number of people learnt a few things on what micro-blogging is about and how to use it more effectively and efficiently.
You do have quite a soft voice, so 1. either learn to talk a little louder, or get a microphone.
Friday was the first time I attended a 27dinner, and I thought it was awesome! Your presentation was great.
