Michael Aivaliotis Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 I think the twitter usage at NIWeek this year will reach an all-time high. With more and more NI folks and LAVA members using twitter, it should be a fun time. Don't forget that LAVA has a twitter account: http://twitter.com/lavag The LAVA team will be using this to post last minute NIWeek goodness. So follow us! Also I suggest everyone update their LAVA profiles with their twitter account names so we can all keep in touch. Who else will be at NIWeek and using twitter? Reply to this thread.

All the latest PXI news and events will be tweeted from PXI (http://twitter.com/pxi) Also use the hashtag #pxi for any pxi related tweets at NIWeek Looking forward to seeing you all at NIWeek!
Phillip Brooks Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 I won't be attending, but maybe the icon for the LAVA twitter account should be more personable; how about using 'Spoolie'. I thought of this when reading Jim's tweet about 'Launchy'.

He reminds me too much of "Clippy" (or whatever his name was) in Windows help. A LAVA mascot would be cool, but I think we need something a little less cute. I get enough cute overload from my cats as it is.

Follow me at http://twitter.com/cloew I also have second account for LV sourced tweets. @lvapp Time permitting I will setup a LV app at NIWeek to tweet automatically; something like a simple temperature monitor from the convention center.
Darren Posted July 25, 2009 Report Posted July 25, 2009 http://www.twitter.com/dnatt I should be down there tweeting all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (see my tentative schedule here). -D

Norm Kirchner Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 My official Twit ID : NJKirchner Be sure to keep that ID handy on Wednesday of NI week as you can virtually follow me as I give a tour to the 4 lucky people who win the LAVA BBQ Door Prizes!! Don't forget to sign up early for special rates!
Daklu Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Hmph... I guess this means I'll have to finally get off my Luddite arse and sign up for Twitter. ...freaking birds on the internet... Humbug!

Twitter (like most internet traditions) is one of those things that either you get it - and love it - or you don't.

Being a stereotypical anti-social introvert I'm downright stumped why I would even care that somebody just bought a latte and "OMG! The barista was so rude!" or why anybody else would care that I "Closed 4 bugs today." I signed up solely so I can get up to the minute information on any new stuff announced at NI Week. (Hope nobody gets offended when I drop all their feeds afterwards.) ...and no, I don't have a facebook account either.

I only signed up for Twitter so I could be a "follower" of a few famous folks I really admire.
crelf Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 I'm seriously considering having 2 twitter accounts: one for LabVIEW goodness for you geeks to follow and one for what I had for dinner for, well, all the other freaks to follow...
