Many bay area events have tags that people can associate with to make communications over Twitter or social networks easier. I use these for all of my parties and events. During Blogworld, the tag was “BWE08” and it was a huge success and is a tag that I see today from attendees that are still chatting about the expo over Twitter.

The tag for this year’s Macworld Conference and Expo is #mwsf09. Simple enough and right to the point. People have already started using the tag so any tweets that yo… Continue

This is actually starting up a bit earlier than usual. Generally we’ll start seeing signs the week of Macworld but someone in the Macworld 2009 Flickr Group took photos on December 24th from downtown SF that show Macworld signs already posted. The slogan, “even the small talk will be big” isn’t a personal favorite of mine but… Continue

It's a lesson learned that I need all RSVPs contact info so I can get the word out if things are delayed.

From January 13th - 18th, we're going to have two cameras streaming live 24/7 from the heads of me and Sam Downie. There's going to be a special link at the top of MacworldBound.com and DailyTechTalk.com that will open up a new window featuring the two simultaneous video streams, a chatroom and ways to contact us while we're at expo.

The major problem we'll have is cellular reception but battery life isn't a huge issue since we'll be broadcasting with UMPCs and extended life batteries. Anyway,… Continue
