ChatterBox at the #140conf in NYC
Todd & I traveled down to NYC this week to attend Jeff Pulver’s 140 Characters Conference (#140conf on Twitter) and show off ChatterBox. We manned a table in the exhibitors’ area and were fortunate to chat with many of the attendees as they circulated around the venue. As is usually the case when attending a Twitter-focused event, we met a diverse set of people from a variety of different industries. The common theme among them was that they were passionate about social networking and excited to learn about innovative new apps like ChatterBox.
Some memorable moments from our trip included:
- Dragging a bag full of ChatterBox monkeys through the streets of Manhattan. Some companies might have opted to ship their conference giveaways to the venue, but we self-funded ventures think differently. (Note- the XL L.L. Bean Rolling Adventure Duffle makes an excellent monkey transportation device)
- Giving up the chair from our demo table for use by Ann Curry. We didn’t actually hand her the chair, but I think we should still get credit for the gesture. Watch this video and you’ll see our chair being put to good use!
- Todd being interviewed by BBC Radio Five Live on how Twitter is impacting the situation in Iran. You can listen to the interview by clicking this link (slide the track to around the 21 minute mark).
- Todd being interviewed for Wednesday evening’s episode of CNBC’s Fast Money. Unfortunately his interview did not make the cut, but we acted as extras in a couple of the clips and the ChatterBox signage did make the air.
- Getting to demo ChatterBox for a variety of influential Twitterers, including Chris Brogan & Clayton Morris.
- Having a lively conversation with the world’s fastest talking female, @francapo. She just might be a perfect spokesperson for ChatterBox one day!
