Twitter’s open API is spawning all sorts of related products and services — many of them with silly names. TweetDeck, Twibble, etc. But despite the silly names it seems to me that a large part of Twitter’s success is related to how useful these offshoots are, and how much better they make the Twitter experience. And for the conference space now comes Twubs. It is in beta now, but it looks like the conference services will carry some charge in the future.
Twitter use is growing in conference settings, but the basic Twitter service doesn’t offer much in the way of features. The Twubs conference suite offers a range of useful functionality. I haven’t had the chance to use it in a conference settings, but if you are organizing a conference it is worth a look. Even if you don’t end up using it, just going through their feature list will be sure to give you some good ideas.
Easily create a hub of all things social media around your conference. Right here. It’s easy. You may be looking to engage participants attending or those watching remotely.
