The annual Design Indaba conference has kicked off at the Cape Town International Convention Centre this morning, Wednesday, 24 February 2010, and you can follow some of the action through the Bizcommunity.com twitterfall - or twitterwall - right here on Bizcommunity at www.bizcommunity.com/designindabatwitter.html or through the Design Indaba site at www.designindaba.com/juitter. Also follow Biz journalist Herman Manson on Twitter at @marklives and Biz contributor Terry Levin at @terrylevin.
The backchannel at Design Indaba 2010 has once again proven that new media and especially social technologies are becoming more and more an integral part of the media (sans advertising) people really want to read. Posted on 1 Mar 2010 10:22
Well, as a media worker and participant in the live tweeting from DI, I thought the twitterfall was a brilliant example of social media at work, and how mainstream media can integrate social media into their daily reporting. This was illustrated aptly by the fact that the mainstream media picked up on the Martha Stewart walkout, via twitter. The twitterfall screen at DI was surrounded by delegates constantly, keeping up with the live tweets as they scrolled, and I could see from comments on the twitterverse that other key media and industry people were doing the same from their PCs at their desks. I hope Bizcommunity rolls this out to all our key industry events - that's community at work! I look forward to the next one! A big shout out to Andre, Terry and Simone who made it happen.
