Tweet Week Episode 15 FTW!

Hellz yah I recorded and uploaded another Tweet Week. Aren't you proud!

Show Notes

Adam Wilson in the Brain-Computer Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin posts Tweets from his brain. Hugh Jackman on Ryan Seacrest's radio show announced he was donating $50,000 to charity: water and $50,000 to Operation Hope. Tweet Dropping is added to the urban dictionary. The 2009 TIME finalists include the "Twitter Guys." Tony Hawk stashed skateboards all over the world and tweeted their locations. Neilsen Twitter Report says that 60% of new Twitter users do not return the following month.

And this is how I get myself ready for recording....

Preparing to record Tweet Week on 12seconds.tv

Tweet Week is BACK! (Again)

Okay, so I am fully committing myself to posting a new Tweet Week every week again! Yay! Below is my latest episode with show notes. Enjoy!

Show Notes

Twitter viruses are on the loose! Hugh Jackman tweets that he will donate 100K to one individual's favorite non profit organization. Of course, you must convince him why by using 140 characters or less. Aston Kutcher and CNN go at it, and Ashton wins. Pizza Hut is looking for a Twintern. OMG Oprah is on Twitter and will undoubtedly bring soccer moms with her. I also talk about how I am a little annoyed with celebrities on Twitter.

Btw, this is how excited I am that Tweet Week is BACK!

Tweet Week - Episode 12 (Live from Seaworld!)

Show Notes

This week's Tweet Week episode was recorded at the Renaissance Seaworld Orlando Hotel. I was in #seaworld with @pop17, @geekmommy, @emom and @aschek, on behalf of Seaworld to get a first hand look at the construction of their new ride - Manta - which is scheduled to open in May 2009.  I had a wonderful time, and I can't wait to get back there this summer to ride the Manta!

Tweet Week - Episode 5

This week's Tweet Week is definitely not my best, as I am sick with a cold I have been fighting all weekend. Blah.

Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy what I was able to put together. It is short, kinda sweet and to the point. Check it out.

Tweet Week - Episode 4

I cannot say enough how excited I am to see the responses and views of Tweet Week continue to rise.

I definitely still have some things to work on to make it better. One of which is backing up from the camera, and I apologize for the very "in your face" feel of this particular episode. Feedback is always welcome, so leave comments please!

Tweet Week - Episode 3 and Blip.tv

I released Episode 3 of Tweet Week today and I must say I am really enjoying producing this weekly web-series. The Twitter support has been incredible and I thank everyone for being so encouraging, supportive and helpful in keeping the show going and helping me make it better each week through your feedback.

On that note, I would like to rave about Blip.tv for a moment. Not just because they featured me on their front page "Hot Episodes" section today (@bliptv Thanks!), but more so, because the Blip.tv platform is incredible.

I never really paid much attention to Blip.tv until recently, when it came up in a search result during a search on how to submit my Tweet Week video-series as a podcast on iTunes.  I found out that Blip.tv is a great way to do that. iTunes does not accept the RSS feeds that YouTube (and other video hosting sites) provide for your channel, but Blip.tv creates a special iTunes-compatible RSS feed for your content.

Furthermore, the options to customize your content's appearance and the way it's delivered by Blip.tv is also impressive. From being able to edit advanced details of your show's player, to having the options to integrate your Blip channel with your delicious, flickr, twitter, and so many other social networks - it feels really good to be able to truely make it your own, in a way no other video sharing site does.

Because of this, Blip.tv is great for web shows. So, if you have a web show on YouTube or somewhere else, put it up on Blip.tv as well... it is absolutely worth it.

Tweet Week - Episode 2

Another week in Twitter. Check out the video and my show notes below.
