Social media juggling act at today’s Obama visit

By Angelo Fernando on May 13th, 2009 In Marketing, Media, People, Social Media

How many tools can I juggle with today during the commencement at the Sun Devil stadium? I won’t know till I get there.

It’s not just the time component, but the power cords (I forgot to get mine in last evening before secret service sweeps the the press box), the number of interviews I can do, and even a way to use Twitpic and Flickr in a creative way as media pools do. Just hope the Wi-Fi signals hold up.

In case you’re wondering, I’m part of the social media ’swat’ team at today’s commencement ASU, and we’re pulling all the stops to make it as multi-media as we can get. Here are a few interesting things to expect:

• Twitter: We are using our event hash tag #asugrad09 (On Twitter search track them here)
• UStream: Someone from our team will use her laptop camera to do short videos from this link
• Web video: The typical event page for the everything video feed http://graduation.asu.edu/live
• Two students tweeting: Tanner Wood and Tiffany Duening
• Podcasts: I will be doing some short podcasts to capture the highlights
• Blogs: Live blogging of course to HoipolloiReport.com cross posted to DecisionTheater.Wordpress.com
• Flickr: If my camera gets past security (lens needs to be no larger than body, aparently. Yikes!)
• Twitpic - Photos from mobile devices will be posted here, as was this one by Ninky
