Tinker is a simple way for people to follow live conversations on Twitter and other micro-blogging platforms about events, so, naturally, we’ve been thinking Tinker is the perfect fit for all kinds of conferences to help people get more out of their conference experience and find the most relevant tweets.
We’re excited that today Tinker will live-stream a curated Tinker Event Stream from Digitas, at their invitation-only conference Digital Content New Front, where Al Gore, co-founder of Current, as well as, ahem, former VP of the United States, will be speaking on the future of digital content distribution.
The organizers will project a Tinker Event Stream behind the speakers so that everyone can submit questions and participate in the conversation in one place.
The organizers can curate the stream so it only pulls in tweets related to the conference.
Digitas is using one of our Tinker widgets on their live-stream page so that people who are watching live video of the conference can ask questions too. They’ll appear in the stream at the event, bridging the online and live audiences. Let’s say you’re watching Al Gore speak in New York on a live stream, but you’re in Israel. Using a Tinker widget, your question has the same opportunity to appear in the stream projected behind the speaker.
Check out the live stream page with Tinker in action here and on Tinker. Apparently all the tweeting is working. #NF09 is now a trending topic on Twitter!
