My NTEN Chat 7/29/08

So last week, in my NTEN Office Hours Chat room, Lindy and I discussed names and themes and concepts for a possible social media project; can't tell you any more about that for now, guess you had to be there to get the skinny!

We were also joined by @Tweetdeck, who answered some questions about, you guessed it, Tweetdeck, which is a really sweet Twitter application in public beta which allows you to see tweets in columns (all, replies, directs). You can create groups of people and have those grouped tweets appear in columns, and the best thing of all is that it's fully integrated with Summize (I mean twitter search) so you can do a search for a keyword (say, "association") and set tweets that come up in that search to appear in yet another column. It really really rocks.

So this week, today in fact, yet again my chat is at 2 pm EST. Any startups or betas want to ask me and whoever is hanging out with me about what we think of their product? @Awayfind? Metanotes? @Freshbooks? @Lijit? Now's your chance... Actually that's not true. You can ask me whenever. But this is more fun!

[Embedded chat room removed after chat. But check back at Diary of a Reluctant Blogger every Tuesday at 2 pm EST during the summer 2008 to chat with me about blogging, social media, strategy, and/or whatever might be on your mind!]
