Trying out Keith White for the first time. More tickets open for PodCamp London, and we’ve added an After Party at Windermere Manor (thanks to Voices.com for the connection)!

And I’m working with The London Ontario Live Arts (LOLA) festival doing some social media type things. Check out the Muskox concert they are putting on Thursday (April 2nd) and email me (bill@deys.ca) if you’re interested in doing some cool media colaboration things around the festival!

I’m listening to Wayne MacPhail and Frances Willick’s PodCamp Toronto 2009 session on Social Media and Higher Ed thanks to Robin Browne’s Being Buff podcast feed and after hearing the video (i know…) I thought

“Ask not what Twitter can do for you, but what you can do for the Twitter Community.”

Ya see it seams that some of the students saw Twitter as a vehicle to Get information rather then to ALSO Give it!

I had a cool idea on how Twitter can make some money, possibly lots, and take care of some of the user name squatters out there!

So look at the user names of some of the business users. For example @lfpress, is the account the London Free Press puts news on but DanAtLFPress and SteveAtLFPress is the accounts that you can chat with the people there. Maybe Twitter should charge the Free Press to stop other people from having a name that follows that convention and maybe more to stop anyone from using lfpress in a user name at all! Just a random idea I had, I could probably think it through and fire a bunch of holes in the idea, but such is brainstorming!

So guys just give me 1% for the first year and the idea is yours! Ah hell let me know your going to use it then blog about me being the spark for the idea and link me! The traffic is worth more!

Well TweetDeck isn’t updating and it’s failing to send my Tweets so over to Is Twitter Down? I head and Yep, seams they’re having issues today! Perhaps there is a flood from Skittles! Anyways as I said in a video about a month ago, I’m not going to panic and find where everyone went. I’m using this to step away from the rush of Twitter. Couldn’t happen at a better time at work either, I’ve got a lot of stuff going on and I need the focus!
