TweetCamp San Antonio Jam Band

Yesterday, I attended my very first TweetCamp. If you don’t know what that is, don’t worry…I didn’t either until recently. TweetCamp is a place for Twitter users to get together and share ideas. Yeah, I know….it sounds about as nerdy as band camp, right?

The format is that of an “UnConference.” Again, I was not familiar with this, but here’s how it works. At the beginning of the day, everybody posts a lists of topics that they would like covered. From there, those topics are scheduled into time slots. People that are experts in those topics then volunteer to present information and teach the other attendees about these topics.

It turned out to be a GREAT day. I took a lot of notes, and got a TON of great information. I reconnected with some people that I had previously met through our Internet Marketing group (MIMOSA), but I also connected with a lot of other great people, who are very active in social media. People came from all over the of Texas, and as you know, it’s a big state!

Because of my use of some advanced Twitter software, I was aksed to present in the “Killer Apps” time slot. It was filmed, and I will eventually release that as a separate training video, as soon as its available.

At the end of a fun and educational day, some of us got together at Alan Weinkrantz’s house, to create the WORLD’s FIRST TweetCamp Jam Band….and it was right here in San Antonio. We had a lot of fun….here’s a quick video of some of the shenanigans.

This was a great ending to a great day. San Antonio has a very active and cohesive Social Media community. We’re all looking forward to the next event with great anticipation!
