We’d like to take this opportunity to invite you to share your thoughts on how we can best facilitate discussion of social, political, ethical and professional issues related to new technologies and the social web.
#Digicitz Topic Survey Result
Thank you to everyone who voted for the next topic in our #Digicitz Topic Survey. Was a much tighter race than expected but with 54.22% of the vote, you have chosen our next topic to be…
“Startups, small shops and bootstrappers: the real value in social media and digital PR for small business”
Next step is for us to find speakers. If you have anyone in mind who you have heard speak before, or perhaps has a really interesting story to tell, please let us know. We are especially keen to get speakers from outside of the normal pool, and perhaps a couple of people who have had bad experiences with social media and digital PR.
Digicitz TwitterFall WebApp
One of the main aims of Digital Citizens is engaging those interested in having a conversation. To do this many events set up a twitterfall screen that can be hidden due to poor placement or perhaps, the audience is not in the room at all. To resolve this issue we have created a DigiFall WebApp (www.bit.ly/digifall) which brings the twitterfall results straight to your mobile device.
Digicitz uStream
So you can’t attend our event? Out of town/country? Still want to be engaged? Brilliant
We have setup a uStream account so that we can livestream the event. Not sure what the picture or sound quality will be like for the first time, but we shall give it a go.
You can either watch the stream on the uStream site (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/social-media-for-social-good-digital-citizens) or below (and I believe they even have apps for android and iPhones….).
Look forward to hearing what you think about the stream.
Digicitz Forum Launched
In an effort to extend the conversations generated by our events, today Digital Citizens has launched a new forum. The key features of this forum include:
- a space for you to talk about the questions raised at previous events (or ask your own),
- a place for you to start the discussion regarding upcoming events, and
- an opportunity for you to tell us what event topics you want to hear about and from who.
If you are unsure of how to use the forum, or update your profile, please just let us know.
So get involved, and tell us what you really think.
Event Topic Survey (Closed)
What event would you like to attend next? We aim to be an inclusive, informal organisation dedicated to knowledge sharing and discussion of social, political, ethical and professional issues related to new technologies and the social web.
We’d like your input to help us plan future events:
(While the event is now closed we would love to hear from you regarding future event/speakers)
Digital Citizens: our principles
- Aim: an inclusive, informal organisation dedicated to knowledge sharing and discussion of social, political, ethical and professional issues related to new technologies and the social web
- Format; the format may change depending on the subject under discussion, but the intention is always to enable free, frank and respectful debate
- We will invite subject matter experts to share their case studies and experience with an emphasis on the exchange of views, rather than a one-to-many format
- The organisers will suggest topics for future events but we encourage the community to submit subjects for discussion, to be selected democratically
- Digital Citizens is agency-neutral, transparent and open. We’d love your feedback and input.
