The digital landscape continues to morph and change at light-speed. We've come a long way since the days of Mozilla and the early Webosphere with flaming logos to a truly social web made up of comments, diggs, rants, posts, blogtalk and yes, Tweets. With the continued evolution of the media, it becomes increasingly vital that we engage as a community to share lessons, but also work collectively to shape the tools that will help make the experience all the better - not only for us, but for generations to come.
Through Twitter, we all have an amazing opportunity to learn and grow from the conversation - hopefully not just to be better marketers, political leaders or entertainment providers - but become better people all around. Thanks to @jeffpulver - a collection of diverse and colorful "Characters" will be facilitating the discussion on the effects of Twitter on media, advertising, celebrity and a whole lot more in NYC from June 16-17th at the 140 Character Conference.
Attend because you want to see how Twitter is affecting @troy_murphy jump shot and @natalie_gulbis goal to open up a Boys and Girls Club; or how its affecting how brands engage with consumers on the purchase, use, and evolution of products with @JeffreyHayzlett and Tony Hsieh of @zappos . Or maybe you really, really just want to meet some of the women from the cast of Mad Men @bettydraper and @peggyolson.
Here is my 140 count rationale:
#140conf Scholarship b/c want 2 c how others use Twitter 2 further passion + sharing = community; also how it can b used 4 social good.
Okay, I'll admit the opportunity for a Pool 3.0 match with @AaronStrout and @pfasano wouldn't be bad either. So Jeff, please pick me for the scholarship :)
