3Ts - Hoorray!

April 16, 2008

Third Tuesday last night went very well, by all accounts. I enjoyed having a captive audience for my talk (you can’t get that kind of stuff in acting ;), and the discussion that ensued about Crowdsourcing during the Q & A was really interesting and engaging.

I made a comment during my talk about how when you read good blogs sometimes the comments are as valuable as the actual posts. Often, people make very intelligent and astute comments and point you in the direction of future resources. Such was certainly the case with the conversion last night where the audience had great questions and insight. (I knew they’d be a smart crowd.)

The talk was live-blogged by Rebecca Bollwitt (Miss604). I can’t imagine live blogging any event - you have to have a mind like a steel trap and really nimble fingers. Props and many thanks, Rebecca.

Raul also gave a very nice summary on his blog as did Jenn Lowther . And Greg Scott Twittered the talk (Wow!).

For those who attended and aren’t on my Facebook (where I posted a thank you status) - I appreciated you being there and your input. For those who missed it, they’ll be more talks to come (I’ll be posting those in the “Upcoming” Section of this blog).

I also wanted to make sure to thank The Network Hub for hosting us.

And of course, thank you so much, Tanya Davis, for organizing the event. You’re awesome.

    You did a fantastic job, Monica, so definitely congratulations! Thanks for the link love! And how about the PaCoRe Hamburg Law of Crowdsourcing, eh ;)

    Fab. U. Lous! You rocked the night! And, like Raul, I particularly enjoyed the PaCoRe reference. Maybe I was hungry at the time.

    I learned a lot!

    You did great! Really well done and you touched on a lot of crucial elements that sometimes get overlooked.

    … and you’re pretty fun and non-boring :P

    Your talk served very well to ignite thought and discussion on this relatively new phenomenon of Crowdsourcing.

    In the interest of preserving your remarks, if you discover any of my Tweets that were inaccurate please Wiki me by leaving a comment after the post.

    Hello Monica! Your speech was excellent. Because of it, we modified our crowd sourcing competitions. We have put prize amounts in, but are also going to try and promote the people to contribute to win. Thanks again! …Vern

Monica Hamburg - Who Am I?

Good question (I wonder this all the time). Essentially, I’m a writer and social media consultant/evangelist in Vancouver, B.C. and am constantly learning related tactics and information. I love researching and my investigations and observations on this phenomenon form the basis of this blog. Oh, I'm also a former actor, pretty good in front of an audience and a contributor to One Degree.

See my website for more information about me (much more), and my humour blog for (hopefully) a good laugh.
