Using Twitter with a Live Webinar, podcast/videocast or other online events

This idea involves a few steps to allow for customers to "tune in" and have a q&a session while you are doing a live presentation.
Why use Twitter for a Live q&a during a your presentation?
Since the q&a is "typed out" on Twitter, it will be a permanent record of the questions and answers for others to find when searching for answers.
This also is a great way to get unfiltered feedback about the presentation.
Getting Started
At the beginning of your presentation, you should take a minute to tell people about Twitter and how they can participate in a live discussion / q&a during the presentation.
You should also think of a unique "hash code" to use for the topic of your presentation. example: #topic
- Tell them to login to their Twitter account
- Post any comments and questions with both @twittername and the "hash code" that you came up with (#topic). Use this link to get them started: http://twitter.com/home?status=%23topic
- Use search.twitter.com and search for your "hash code" #topic and follow along in the discussions
Give them a link to get started: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23topic - Reply to comments or questions with the same "hash code" (#topic)
