@ Lionel Okay, the summize and searchability I get. I like the chat window within LM or WEBex. The content, and the findability of it, might not be very valuable after the T-webinar, but it will be captured outside the system.

Lionel and Richard,

I was part of Chris's first twebinar a litle while back and my first reaction was "why?"

What does the TW-itter add that is not already available in LiveMeeting, WebEx or the Acrobat conferencing platform? I am not trying to be a devils advocate, though I have been accused of such, I am really wanting to "get it."

Let's just use LiveMeeting (not necessarily the gold standard) as an example.

In TWeb you can chat along while watching the webinar. vs.
In LM you can chat along within the LM instance while watching the webinar
In LM there is no fail whale. vs
In TWeb: Fail whale.
In TWeb you can keep on tab open to the INAR part of the show and another tab open to the TW part vs.
In LM: It's all in one browser window.
In LM: You can record the entire presentation and the chat via the LM system and play it back later. vs.
In TWeb: you can play back the presentation and retweet while it's going along, almost as if it were happening live, again.

I am so into innovation that I signed up for the TWebinar when I first saw it advertised. I think they are still advertising this new innovative tool on the little Facebook advertising patch.

But I don't get it yet.

Great stuff! Can you tell me a little more about the webcams you are using, audio recording and on-demand viewing details? Are you using http://mogulus.com to go back and forth between you and Chris?

Hey Lionel...with time differences between geographies, I am always at a loss for how to access the twebinar content "after the fact" eg, if I was already asleep in Australia at the time the twebinar kicked off. There must be a simple way..I just cant work out how to. Help?

Hey there Lionel,

Thanks for spreading the good word on today's Twebinar. It will definitely be great to hear more about how you and the rest of the gang at Dell engage in social media to share brand ownership with your many clients and fans. It was great to hear that Richard agreed to join us live via webcam to go into the details as the feedback from the first Twebinar was that folks were hoping we could to go even deeper on our Twebinar topics.

Tweet you this afternoon at 2pm EDT.

Cheers.

David
