LOGIN Conference China Panel Reviewed on Twitter
May 25, 2009 – 1:16 amAbout two weeks ago, I spoke at the LOGIN Conference in Seattle on the panel about China. It was a very productive and enjoyable conference. I highly recommend it to others working in the industry and would like to thank the organizers for inviting us. Also, our panel was well-attended and received, so I was planning on writing a follow-up blog post about it. But I’m somewhat behind schedule since I’m also booked to attend E3 next week and speak about the “Future of Philanthropy in Virtual Worlds” at the State of Play conference next month.
So instead, I’ll hop on the bandwagon and let Twitter summarize our panel instead. Here’s a livestream of selected tweets during the conference when our panel was in session. The tweets should be pretty self-explanatory, but if you need context for the quotes, let me know and I’ll add some commentary later.
couchange Just realized an hour before our #LOGIN China panel that we should probably have some projector visuals. Maybe we’ll just use a title slide.
