I recently did my first ever Twitterview with Shelley Wetzel, director of the eduWEB conference.  This conference pulls together some of the best and brightest Web developers, marketers, designers and technologists serving the Higher Education market (both working in colleges and universities and serving that market).

eduWEB ConferenceLast year, InnoGage joined forces with Jadu and sponsored the Social Media at the Conference in Chicago.  The idea just kind of hit me out of the blue.  When I shared it with Shelley, she was on board immediately.  Jadu jumped in to assist and the whole thing came off beautifully.  You can read more about that HERE if you want.

Now, onto the Twitterview!  You can view the twitterview HERE (at least for the next few months) Or you can attempt to read it in the blog below….

Remember, since Twitter streams down, you have to go to the BOTTOM first and read your way up.  You’ll see that the tweets don’t always pull through in complete sequential order so you need to watch out for that too.  Enjoy the Twitterview…HEAD TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST AND START READING UPWARDS.

Getting Creative: Sponsoring Social Media at the eduWEB Conference 2009

I love conferences.  They are a great place to network and you can learn a ton from the sessions and panels.  Not to mention they are usually in a pretty cool location.  However, most conferences have this uncomfortable vendor / patron thing going on.  The vendors sit around in their booths hoping someone will actually stop by who’s interested and the patrons stroll the vendor area wondering what they are going to do with all those pens.

So…in an effort to not stand around in a booth, throwing pens at passers by, we decided to do something a little creative this year!  Working with Shelley Wetzel from the eduWEB conference, we teamed up with Jadu and are sponsoring some Social Media at this year’s conference!  InnoGage Jadu ShirtWe tracked down a couple college students from DePaul University and Columbia College Chicago to cruise the conference taking still images and shooting video.  You will be able to recognize them by their cool Tshirts (see image on the right).  They will then do some light edit work to spruce up the videos and load the images and video to the eduWEB Flickr page and the video to the eduWEB YouTube channel.

The official channels for the conference are below.  If you are attending, please bookmark these and throw your video and photos up as well for all to see and use.  If you’re not attending, just tune in once the conference starts.  Images and video will be hitting these sites continually throughout the day.

By the end of the conference there should be a plethora of content on the eduWEB channels that anyone can grab and embed into a blog or link to from twitter or facebook…You get the idea!  I am very excited to be working alongside the great folks from Jadu to make this happen and to add value to the conference, the patrons and the other vendors!

Kicking it eduWEB style

If you follow the Webster Universty Twitter account, you may have seen the following tweet come out on April Fools day:

When I saw this tweet I wondered briefly if it was an April Fools Joke.  Then, weighing the possible gravity of the situation I decided to RT it both under the InnoGage twitter account and [...]
