What’s coming next from EventChatter
April 16, 2009
The goal of EventChatter is to improve how people attending the same event connect and converse. Events provide a natural context for your actions, so our initial goal is to make it as easy as possible to hold a conversation with others in the same context. If you’re using Twitter to express your opinion on the keynote speaker at a conference while the presentation is happening, we want to make it easy for you to get your thoughts into the collective stream and jump in and out of conversations.
Currently, EventChatter lets you join and create events, and pulls in all tweets of people participating that are posted while an event is live, or any tweets of attendees that use the hash tag before or after the event. In the next few weeks we’ll be working on some cool stuff, including:
- A clever way to join events directly from Twitter
- Tools to control how your tweets are fed into the conversation during an event
- A mobile interface
- A conversation widget that can be embedded on your site
- Integration with OAuth, so you don’t need to give us your Twitter credentials
EventChatter is in early beta. We’re working out the kinks and building new features, and we have a lot planned for the service. Our most immediate goal is to get feedback from Twitter users on how we can improve the service to make their lives easier, so don’t hesitate to let us know what you think by commenting, tweeting us at @iameventchatter, or using the feedback link on EventChatter.
