I have been tweeting about the World Economic Forum using microblogging platform Twitter to discuss and document the interesting sessions (live tweeting from presentations).
In addition, I have written several articles about WEF and posted them on this blog, including but not limited to:
Twitter has been described as something similar to the Human Narrative in real time. And yes, the Capitalisation is important .
- Twitter is not just a marketing tool, nor a place to get cool links to awesome videos and blog posts. It’s not even simply a place to organise a barbecue or be introduced to a potential client. Its primary purpose is to tell the Human Story, in 140-character paragraphs (Laurel Papworth, 2008-08-13).
With no more than 140 characters per tweet, Twitter is similar to sending or receiving an SMS/text-message with your mobile phone. In other posts, I have outlined how much one can gain from using Twitter during a conference, such as:
- – Twitter – means getting a better conference experience
– Forrester conference and Twitter – does live tweeting help engage conference delegates?
– Using Twitter most effectively
Tweeting during the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos, Switzerland is a challenging task. To make things easier for readers, I decided to use headings to allow later searches while grouping tweets according to keywords and so on (see link further below to download file), such as:
- 5 THOUGHTS multipolar world➡
2 Solution to fight #Depressionomics ➡ A)
#WEF REFLECTIONS What was NOT said:Jean-Claude Trichet ECB
#WEF #Davos Prime Minister of Japan Taro Aso ➡ Schwab asks ➡
#WEF #Davos➡ The Politics of #Water Session ➡
#WEF #Davos ➡Fight Against #Protectionism Session ➡Kim Jong-Hoon ➡
#security #Davos ➡ #risk #terrorism ➡ anti #WEF demonstration
As you can see, I used plenty of hashtags like #WEF and #Davos. The official hashtag was #Davos but many people used #WEF as well. Hashtags add additional context and metadata to tweets. These are part of the 140 characters at the poster’s disposal. A hashtag has the hash symbol # as a prefix to the hashtag itself.
