Podcast Episode 01 - Twitter Ins and Outs
January 31, 2009 10
It’s still January and we kept our promise – not bad for two guys working in advertising, right? ;-) Our first – real – podcast is finished and we’re damn proud of it.
For this first episode we decided to start with Twitter, explaining what it is and why it is useful for a marketeer. You’ll notice us giving some clear examples, both of national and – most of the time – international uses of Twitter. We’ll explain in a few minutes what it is and we’ll give you some proof of the enormous growth of Twitter.
Each episode will consist of a set of predefined chapters, just like this one: hot potato (which is the main topic explained in an inspiring example, e.g. Twitter in this episode), huh (a more hands-on tutorial on what Twitter really is), reality check (best case examples of around the world), explosive stuff (a kind invite to follow our sessions live!), feedback (well, there is not much to say in this first episode) and next session (where we outline what to expect from next episode).
Hope you enjoy it and feel free to add your comments using the form below or using our feedback tab on the left. And make sure to connect using Facebook by clicking the facebook button on your right.

Giving Praise:
Cool, love the restyling on the Adnerd site. Looking forward to the next episode. Thaks for the links to new Twitter features (Twitrans) I didn’t know about.
Sharing an idea:
- it didn’t seem to be the first plain in the Hudson some… Scary huh :)
- I’ve read best tweets are not “what are you doing right now” (according to many Twitfluencers, an example: http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2007/11/29/how-i-use-twitter-and-you )
- if you are not following some connected Tweeters it’s not a valuable newssource at all, right?
Question(s):
- who (targetaudience) are these podcasts aimed at?
- what are you the Adnerds trying to achieve posting these podcasts?
- why is the talk about livescribe in the same cast as the Twitter talk?
Can you guys keep watching the lens while talking?

@Lander, some reactions:
- thanks for your praise… always nice to hear we’re on track ;-)
- true that ‘what are you doing?’ isn’t the most relevant question to answer when doing business on twitter, but it’s a good start to explain the concept. And as you may have noticed most cases we should are far away from answering that one stupid question.
- not following people (like AlGore for instance, he follows only 2 people!!!) is never going to make it an interesting tool, not for having conversations (hard to do that on your own ;-)), not for listening, nor learning. That’s why we are using socialtoo (thanks for the tip btw ;)) for auto-following the people that follow us.
- the podcasts are aimed at our internal creatives and accounts to have a better understanding of the new media. On the other hand we would like to connect to as many marketers and advertising professionals both on the client side as at the competitors’ side in order to learn from each other. We hope it will be a two-way dialogue rather than Jan and I giving lectures every few weeks…
- the LiveScribe pen was a cool gadget we discussed and it had nothing to see with Twitter. It might have been better to communicate this missing link up front… We forgot ;-)
- We noticed (after recording) that we didn’t watch the cam very well… But we’ll make sure to do this better next time.
Thanks for your feedback!

Oh one more little thing, could you perhaps fix to add an automatic break insert when I hit ENTERS in the comments, would be handy to get away from cluttery comments.
tnx
