futureof so you agree? RT @garlin: Real Time + Geolocation + Mobile = The Future #twtrcon
digiphile Curious to to hear what #twtrcon panelists think about how geolocation data creates privacy & security risks http://j.mp/1u6JQf
rpesce Mobility panel. @lepton talking about possibility of location specific application tweets from cafe w/ what band is playing. #TWTRCON
jessicalundberg RT @AnnikaStensson: Geolocation on Twitter can be a great way for single-location restaurants to micro-taget audiences, panel says. #twtrcon
floridagirlindc RT @keder: I think geo-targeting is kind of creepy and big-brotherish. Am I alone? #twtrcon // No. It’s creepy/cool… like a vampire.
ReneeRevetta walk by @starbucks and get an SMS text of a coupon?! yes, please! #twtrcon
brightmatrix Geolocation today, augmented reality tomorrow. #twtrcon
AnnikaStensson Geolocation on Twitter can be a great way for single-location restaurants to micro-taget audiences, panel says. #twtrcon
TWTRCON "We think of geolocation as GPS" but we’ve also got wifi positioning #twtrcon
csukach Geolocation & mobile tech making it easier for ppl to discover new places & services around them (via @lepton) #twtrcon
jpeepz With GPS in my iPhone, I’m really happy I didn’t drop a bunch of money on a handheld GPS unit. Just sayin. #twtrcon
judywriter Idea: If spkr @teleatlas follows In & Out Burger & travels, they’ll tweet where one is in that city & sell coupla extra burgers. #TWTRCON
Valpakcoupons RT @jessicalundberg: RT @AnnikaStensson: Geoloc on twttr can B way 4 single-location restrnts 2 micro-target audiences, panel says. #twtrcon
floridagirlindc What if we could geolocate volunteer opportunities for people to make a difference with their downtime? #twtrcon
acarvin Getting a tweet w/ a starbucks coupon is ok, but i’d rather get NOAA weather alerts warning me of tornados and such. #twtrcon #geolocation
floridagirlindc If In-n-Out burger tweeted me, I’d probably gain a pound per tweet. Even w/o a discount geolocated my way. #twtrcon
sharontb interesting that geolocation tracking road trip w/ extreme details is seen as asset rather than scary stalker tool #twtrcon food 4 thought
hollisthomases Question for geo-location marketing: Is there a way to opt-out so everyone can’t see where a user is? #TWTRCON
adamkmiec RT @SBoSM: "Foursquare is neat, unless no one you know is on it." #TWTRCON
SourcerKelly how about walk by a starbucks and get a @dunkindonuts coupon….#twtrcon
sharontb potential mash ups? ppl who tweet "volunteer" with geolocation of volunteer needs (based on open source data from all for good?) #TWTRCON
ellenrossano RT @ellenrossano: @blockrealestate Curious how people use it in emergency response-can they send real-time info to responders? #twtrcon
digitalsista discussing the privacy issue to britekite and geo location apps on twitter #twtrcon
MilitaryTweets #twtrcon from @garlin I didn’t know 65% of new cell phones have GPS.
SourcerKelly hmm..geolocation and recruiting…future connf topic? i totally see that happening #twtrcon
brightmatrix Location awareness is useful when users are in control, not services that would use GPS to push (unwanted) info to those users. #twtrcon
ReneeRevetta BrightKite has good security, can choose exact location or just city and friend or trusted friend #twtrcon (via @lepton)
digitalsista #netneutrality conversation just made it to #twtrcon
hollisthomases @lepton Many people enable their smart phone GPS identifiers and don’t know it, particularly damning for celebrity tweeters. #TWTRCON
abohannon Need for more security, awareness, options w/ geolocation – via panelist @lepton #TWTRCON
Jeanne23 Friend knew something was up when BF turned off geolocation (surprising her, but she realized it) #twtrcon
garthmoore Interesting that so many people at #twtrcon distrust geo-location apps, probably for very good reasons (sci-fi movies ruined us all)
sjniman Geolocation and mobile. Using location based social services – Marketing nirvana or invasion of privacy? #twtrcon
4GreenPs This is a very sophisticated audience yet people aren’t fully aware of whether they’re transmitting their own location! #twtrcon
floridagirlindc Ooh, listen up… Using geolocation to track lying boyfriends… Wish I had that in college! #twtrcon
julieminevich Ooooh! I’m interested! RT @chrisloos: Lets see some augmented reality + twitter + geolocation apps. #TWTRCON
abohannon @Jeanne23 @keder with proper user controls, can be an incredibly useful feature. But control needs to stay in hands of users. #TWTRCON
SourcerKelly @Hardip_Singh More in the context of a jobseeker enters your geo radius and gets job/opps notification. not restricted to search #twtrcon
chrisloos Lets see some augmented reality + twitter + geolocation apps. #TWTRCON
ScottHorvath The @USGSted prototype uses geolocation & twitter loc to plot tweets related to earthquake events to improve the scientific data #twtrcon
Jeanne23 RT @UltraNurd: It’s like detecting stealth plane by "shadow" in bckgrnd radionoise. If geolocate a lot, absence noticed. #twtrcon
digiphile @aslesinski Geolocation > than a social media issue, despite the venue for the conversation at #twtrcon. Do we control our data w/providers?
4GreenPs @aslesinski Notice it’s overwhelmingly the women who are reacting negatively to the geolocation service. #twtrcon
JohnBattaglino #twtrcon – age 29 is the threshold for trusting GPS features and aps. In academia, that line clearly divides the admins from the students.
garlin Participation flows from perceived value. "People will share their location if you show why they should." -@teleatlas #twtrcon
sjniman I can see where broadcasting your location has value at times but having it as a default option in a social app is problematic. #Twtrcon
4GreenPs @cuennie I’m not so sure that’s a digital divide as much as just being under age 30! Different careabouts..! #twtrcon
B2BTOTY Geolocation is a app for B2B companies, especially with mobile work forces. #TWTRCON
julieminevich I really believe augmented reality and geolocation – through mobile? – are the next big things #TWTRCON
csukach Augmented reality is essentially a heads-up display for your phone/life (via @lepton) layering digital info over the video input #twtrcon
rpesce Geolocation & Mobility discussions always interesting, always lots of opinion & some controversy. Thanks to @teleatlas & @lepton #TWTRCON
vincentgallegos

@TeleAtlas #twtrcon
ReneeRevetta @debbieweil Re: geolocation if I could choose which people could see my exact location, sure. if not, no thanks! #twtrcon

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been getting some awesome speaker and content suggestions. They include people who are using Twitter in a wide variety of industries and company sizes; all of them are people I’d love to talk to & learn from. If you’ve made a speaker suggestion and haven’t heard back from us yet, it doesn’t mean that your idea hasn’t been heard–you may still get an invitation from us. And, there are ways that you can start to share your story with the TWTRCON community now.
We launched TWTRCON, the Twitter for Business Conference, in San Francisco, the home of the tech community that built the real-time web. In DC, we talked about how the real-time revolution was transforming government, as well as business and non-profit organizations. 2010 is the year that Twitter will grow up and take its rightful place as an essential business tool, a tool that will, over time be embedded into many more business processes than we can now imagine.
Given the heady pace of change in today’s media industry, we thought it might be interesting to tap into the collective wisdom of our clients and friends to make some predictions about the future of media and marketing in 2010.
So you kinda had to be there.
