Friday, May 15, from 1-3 p.m. Pacific time, the RoadTwip gang will be conducting a live video chat with friends and press to share stories they gathered during their 2-week social media-fueled road trip.
The trip started in Washington, D.C., and looped through 10 Midwestern and East Coast cities. From Toledo to Nashville to New York and everywhere between, the gang met up with longtime Internet friends and local thought leaders. They’ve accumulated huge masses of information and multimedia content, some of which they’ve posted at http://roadtwip.us/blog.
A Twitter search for the term “RoadTwip” will also yield some interesting results from both the gang and their friends new and old from along the route.
Some of the topics the gang has covered have been big things happening in small towns, change and optimism, using social media to streamline offline and online activities, the use of mobile technology to permit constant connection and learning, the importance of meeting in real life to strengthen the social web, the emerging future of the new America, and inside jokes involving Cleveland and primates.
Tune into the chat at http://mogulous.com/roadtwip. To ask questions or give the gang feedback, send tweets @KurtyD, @JolieODell, or @Dingman, or email jolie.odell@gmail.com, jdingman@gmail.com, or kurtdaradics@gmail.com.
For press, you can use any of the RoadTwip-tagged videos at http://youtube.com/user/jolieodell or any of the photos at http://flickr.com/photos/jdingman or http://flickr.com/photos/photos/jolieodell with attribution.
