The magic number 140 gets its own UK Event
With Twitter being in the news almost every day, it is no surprise that a special event on Twitter is in the making. Its officially called Media140, but for many this magic number is another word for Twitter.
Anyone who wants to be at the forefront of new developments in real time media, can join on May 20th to discuss and debate the future of realtime news at this UK’s first Microblogging and Twitter event. Journalists, bloggers, social media advocates and publishers will share and discuss the effects and impact of Twitter and other social media tools on mainstream media.
It will feature a mixture of case studies and quickfire panel discussions from an eclectic mix of journalists, bloggers, commentators and technologists from The Guardian, BBC, Time and other media companies.
Some of the topics:
- Is microblogging and Twitter really a news ‘game changer’?
- How will microblogging change traditional local news sourcing and distribution?
- Tools of the trade, what works and what doesn’t?
There will be case studies on microblogging, such as: Afganistan, US Elections, Olympics and Iraq.
The Speakers line-up is to be finalized in the coming days, but Jeff Pulver will hold the final keynote. There are a couple of tickets left.
