Re: Wedge for Talking Head?




I too have seen a lot of twitter feed stuff lately but so far it's been unmoderated.  We just throw a computer to the twitter feed page and pop it up on the screens during the portions they want it.  I'm curious where that will go.  Thus far I haven't experienced anybody playing games with the scenario, so to speak.  In these cases it's supposed to help add to the "buzz".  And I've overheard meeting planners who try to gauge the success of the event in real time by watching a twitter feed for the event, even if it isn't part of the "show". 


As far as the confidence (video) monitors and where they're placed... I think it arrives as a more practical concern before the meeting starts.  Every presenter wants/needs to see their slides/notes while presenting and they check that out ahead of time. (and the meeting planners don't question what a presenter wants)  The presence of a foldback speaker isn't usually anyone's concern until the presenter can't hear what's going on and it creates an embarrassing situation.  Nobody at a talking head meeting seems to think they need a mic (or speaker) until the moment it's clear that they actually do.
