There’s an event in May called “140 | The Twitter Conference” that is exactly what I was talking about yesterday:
On May 26th and 27th at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, we’re bringing together the top gurus in the Twitosphere to discuss all things Twitter, from understanding the business value of Twitter to exploring the what makes a great Twitter app.
Just a few of the other topics to be covered include: Utilizing Twitter data for brand monitoring and seeking Alpha * Creating compelling Web services with the Twitter APIs * Best practices: How smart organizations are utilizing Twitter * Attracting and keeping followers.
The API sessions interest me from a programming standpoint (Alex Payne is teaching them, which is pretty sweet), but the rest of it is more of the crap that is getting under my skin more and more.
