“la parole exportée”

Thanks to Ann Rusnak, The Time Diva, a new kind of event was premiered on Twitter last night, Twitterville Business After Hours (hence the @tbah entries in my twitter feed below). Ann couldn’t have chosen a better name for it, it was really ‘after hours’ for me, as the event started at midnight. I dropped off at 1am, but I really wanted to take part in this new type of online event. The guests were from Australia, the USA and France, if I’m correct. What better way of demonstrating the power of the internet?

As if the time slot wasn’t hard enough for me, my computer decided to play up just as things were taking off, but after that small glitch, it was all business chat and passing Twips and Twitteritas. (I regularly forgot to pass them on, not that I was ‘consuming’ them either. ) TBAH is, provided it’s used properly, a good way to promote your business and your services, in a relaxed way. Instead of simply pushing your tweets, inner thoughts and general actions into the ether, you are publicly talking to other people about your business. A more natural way of making yourself visible.

Ann is planning another such event next month. I have a few ideas about offering a more useful contribution, translation-wise, but I’ll have to discuss this with her first.

Whether or not you already have a Twitter account, would you like to participate in a future event?
