Lara McCulloch-Carter started this Event and meeting bi-weekly chats using Twitter and Tweetchat which lets you see only the tweets with the #eventprofs hashmark. Today eventprofs took another step forward (or backwards some said) by adding video to the mix. Robert Swanwick of SpeakerInteractive.com headed this trial run today. The process was hindered by Twitter really lagging behind I found it to be 8- 10 minutes behind so most people who werent on the call were left out of the action. But I think they had some good conversation. [Warning- its pretty long- and a big file :) ] What do you think hit or miss?Related articles by ZemantaTwitter Users: How Old Are You?

This is Mike McAllen with Grass Shack Events and Media and today we have Jordan Schwartz of Pathable.com. Hi, Jordan. Jordan Schwartz: Hi, Mike. How you doing? Mike McAllen: I am well. Thank you again for taking the time out to talk to me and can you tell us a little bit about yourself, your background and how you ended up as a CEO of Pathable. Jordan Schwartz: Yes, sure. So I ndash; prior to working, to starting with Pathable, I spent 10 years at Microsoft working on a variety of consumer-facing products or whatrsquo;s in a [00:01:09] program there, photo sharing service, a couple of versions of Windows and you know, Irsquo;m a little bit of an oddity in that I have to say I hate computers. I just ndash; I hate the idea of people sitting in front of their glowing screens all day. You know, not talking to anyone and not going anywhere and not doing anything. So, when I left Microsoft, I really wanted to get involved in a product that had people getting out and talking to other people and meeting in the real world and so Pathable was kind of an obvious choice for me. I had gotten a call from an old friend of mine, Shelly Farnham who I knew from years ago and also, she worked at Microsoft Research in the Social Computing Group and she had started working on this project that was what became Pathable a way to help people who are attending conferences and events, find out who else is going to be there and make the best use of their time while theyrsquo;re there, identifying you like people to talk to and making some [00:02:12] connections. Mike McAllen: So can you tell us a little bit about Pathable and kind of how it works maybe hellip; Jordan Schwartz: Yes, sure. Mike McAllen: hellip; and some key features. Jordan Schwartz: Sure. So Pathable is a social network or online community for a conference. You can think of it as a mini-Facebook or LinkedIn where everybody in the network is someone yoursquo;ll actually have an opportunity to meet at the conference. So an attendee shows out a short profile, their photo and a bio or links to their websites and tags were things that theyrsquo;re interested in, short words or phrases that identify their interests by their professional or hobbies and things like that and then the Pathable system provides tools for them to start to get to know each other. You can search for people who share your interest. You can send messages to people who share your interest or this is a unique feature that we have that ndash; I donr... conferences,,networking,,technology meetingspodcast@gmail.com no No Citigroup Follows AIG Lead. http://meetingspodcast.com/244 http://meetingspodcast.com/244#comments Fri, 16 Jan 2009 21:10:16 +0000 MeetingsPodcast Guys http://meetingspodcast.com/?p=244 http://meetingspodcast.com/244/feed MeetingsPodcast Featured in iProng Magazine http://meetingspodcast.com/243 http://meetingspodcast.com/243#comments Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:38:43 +0000 MeetingsPodcast Guys http://meetingspodcast.com/?p=243 http://meetingspodcast.com/243/feed Low Tech Networking Idea http://meetingspodcast.com/238 http://meetingspodcast.com/238#comments Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:09:42 +0000 MeetingsPodcast Guys http://meetingspodcast.com/?p=238 http://meetingspodcast.com/238/feed Top Holidays & Events for Planners to Know About http://meetingspodcast.com/239 http://meetingspodcast.com/239#comments Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:10:22 +0000 MeetingsPodcast Guys http://meetingspodcast.com/?p=239 http://meetingspodcast.com/239/feed 4 Pre-Conference Networking Tips http://meetingspodcast.com/235 http://meetingspodcast.com/235#comments Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:58:30 +0000 MeetingsPodcast Guys http://meetingspodcast.com/?p=235 http://meetingspodcast.com/235/feed Breakout Producer Hugs Are Important http://meetingspodcast.com/233 http://meetingspodcast.com/233#comments Tue, 13 Jan 2009 00:32:50 +0000 MeetingsPodcast Guys http://meetingspodcast.com/?p=233 http://meetingspodcast.com/233/feed Any Good News Out There?
