Twitter + Webinar = Twebinar

guest post by Erno Honnink

Chris Brogan comes up with some great ideas. See for example his articles 100 Personal Branding Tactics Using Social Media or Starting a Social Media Strategy. Probably his best idea lately is to setup a Twebinar.

A twebinar is a webinar and Twitter mash-up where conversations take
place in real-time before, during and after the webinar, on Twitter.

To enter the Twebinar follow these steps:

1. Sign-up for a webinar on a topic that interests you.
2. On
   the day of the webinar, watch the presentation from your computer and
   receive information visually and verbally from the presenter(s).
3. During
   the webinar, a parallel conversation takes place as participants
   comment, ask questions, and/or discuss the webinar series on Twitter.
   Follow the webinar participants on Twitter and join the conversation.
4. Gather ideas and/or resources from a community of people with interests that are similar to yours.
5. The result? A twebinar.

It is a 3 part series:

1. Game Changing Moves - Doing Business with Social Media
2. Who Really Owns Your Brand?
3. The Importance of Listening

Part 1 - Game Changing Moves

In this first part Chris will interview over 30 names in social media and Internet
marketing. It will be a great opportunity to get their thoughts on how tools like blogs, social
networks, wikis, and podcasts are changing the way companies do
business.

With Twitter, as a registered participant, you will be able to participate in the Twebinar. You may want to follow the 30+ professionals, already before the Twebinar on 26 June, on Twitter. You can follow professionals like Rohit Bhargava, Tim Ferriss, Maggie Fox, Shel Israel, Joseph Jaffe, Loic Le Meur and others on Twitter.

Looking at this list, the blogs and Twitter streams that I already follow of some of these professionals, it looks like it will be a very interesting Twebinar.

Registration is easy and free
