Thanks so much Steve! Appreciate your feedback and thoughts I didn’t realize the today’s webinar was more introductory, so I will look forward to the next one either way. I will also look forward to meeting you next time you visit!

Thanks for your comment, Deb. I didn’t encourage a hashtag because this was a pretty elementary webinar where I was going to be introducing hashtags to some participants (but it’s a good suggestion, and I may do it, even if I do have to introduce the technique to some people). I apologize for the “full” message. I understood this webinar to be unlimited, but apparently it was capped at 100. I will be looking into that, and offering a repeat webinar. I also will be doing a more advanced Twitter webinar, which may be more appropriate to your experience level.

Hey Steve,
I would have loved to join in the webinar today. I registered, specifically came into the paper at this time of day for the webinar. I was unable to join because the session was ‘full’ mmmm. May I suggest not having a limit? I’ve attended many webinars, this was the first time this happened. I tried calling, for the listen only, the call dropped four times. So, here I am.
Also, unless I missed it, what would have been spectacular was to be tweeting comments during the webinar – assign a hashtag so everyone can be using the very tool you’re talking about during the webinar. I’ve been very active on Twitter, just joined JRC – at the Register Citizen. I was asked to do a guest post in June on the subject of social media and the journalist. I wanted to share it with you Social Media and the Journalist http://bit.ly/iAgvgl – Thanks! Hope to be able to join the next one and that you appreciate the feedback! Deb
