Back from the 140 Twitter Conference

ToddWell, I am back from our launch at the 140 Twitter Conference (#140tc) in Mountain View, CA.  Charlie dispatched me to represent the product and what we are doing.  I got to meet a bunch of great people and also received a nice reception for the product.  We can’t thank you all enough for being included and the opportunity to spend some time to show you what we have put together.  The Parnassus Group put on a great event.

People had some good things to say about ChatterBlox.  Here is quote by @justinjwilliams I captured from Twitter (using ChatterBox of course):

People also loved the monkeys monkeyswe brought as our giveaway.  Apologies to everyone for the #MONKEYFAIL during the keynote where one of Charlie’s brethren went off accidently.

Attendees found lots of great uses for the monkeys (aside from a screaming slingshot).  @krystyl wrote:

We also presented at the launchpad session.  It was a nerve racking 5 minutes, but I think we well positioned the application and the demo went smoothly.  The audience was great and the other presenter showed off some really interesting tools.  Definitely check out TwittyLinks.com by Loren West.  TwittyLinks is the fastest way to tweet about a web page. One click lets you tweet without leaving the page you’re on.  Loren was very kind to take this picture of me presenting at the launchpad session:

Well, we’re busy taking a look at all the feedback and suggestions for improvements and are building out the app for full open beta.  Expect to see open signup at the end of June.  In the meantime, use our Contact Us form to request immediate access.  I can’t wait to see everyone again at the next event!

Update: I have uploaded my interview with Brian Shields of KRON4 News.  The full report can be found here: http://www.kron4.com/LinkClick.aspx?link=465&tabid=36
