4:54 pm jeffkorhan: @reedstockman Thanks for joining. #engage365
4:54 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan I was thinking of exploring QR Codes for events. Everyone familiar with them? #engage365
4:59 pm reedstockman: is there a simple way to turn off posting from Tweetchat to FB and just post to Twitter? #engage365
4:59 pm jeffkorhan: I can't tell if I've a TweetChat/Twitter malfunction. Where did you all go? :) #engage365
5:01 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan What a QR Code? #engage365
5:01 pm jeffkorhan: [Moderator] O.K.Officially kicking off the Engage365 Water Cooler chat. 1st Topic: Encouraging engagement at events. #engage365
5:02 pm chrisuschan: @reedstockman Don't know... I have the same issue with LinkedIn - I dont tie in my facebook #engage365
5:03 pm jeffkorhan: @reedstockman I've never known i could post to FB. Can't help ya on that #engage365
5:03 pm yuryrush: Encouraging engagement at events. #engage365 market the channels of engagement as much as possible before the event
5:05 pm jeffkorhan: @yuryrush Seems to be very little of that. Seems like pre-engagement would help. #engage365
5:05 pm yuryrush: Encouraging engagement at events. #engage365 offer video tutorials on engagement IE twitter, hashtags etc
5:06 pm chrisuschan: @yuryrush do you do this with your events? how do you know what channels? #engage365
5:07 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan Here's an article on QR Codes: http://bit.ly/9DklRA They are very common in Japan I'm told. #engage365
5:07 pm jeffkorhan: @yuryrush I like the video idea. Very helpful for newbies - and they are still the majority. #engage365
5:09 pm yuryrush: @chrisuschan how do you know what channels? #engage365 you figure out who your demo is, like with any other marketing
5:09 pm chrisuschan: RT @jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan Heres an article on QR Codes: http://bit.ly/9DklRA They are very common in Japan Im told. #engage365
5:09 pm yuryrush: @chrisuschan #engage365 you dont market to anyone until you know who they are and where they spend their time online
5:10 pm yuryrush: @jeffkorhan thanks #engage365 in the end i find you have to still KISS, the simpler the better
5:11 pm jeffkorhan: @yuryrush Another idea is when nametags are handed out - a small card with info along w/meal tickets etc #engage365
5:14 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan Real value of QR codes is the info it connects with can be modified - so you can keep the info fresh. #engage365
5:14 pm rayhansen: hey everyone. I am joining the chat from the tech table in Atlanta #engage365
5:15 pm rayhansen: I am looking at QR codes for a client event - to deliver hints for a scavenger hunt #engage365
5:16 pm jeffkorhan: @rayhansen So you have worked out a game plan? #engage365
5:17 pm tracibrowne: finally able to make the chat...hello everyone! #engage365
5:17 pm rayhansen: @jeffkorhan we have. combination of QR codes, twitter. #engage365
5:17 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan is anyone (out side of Japan) using QR codes? #engage365
5:18 pm theexpogroup: Thanks @tracibrowne: Awesome job @theexpogroup & @EmilieBarta #INZone Social Networking on #Tradeshow Floor http://bit.ly/disZZA #engage365
5:18 pm chrisuschan: Hi @tracibrowne #engage365
5:19 pm rayhansen: here is a quick and easy QR code generator http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ #engage365
5:19 pm rayhansen: what up @tracibrowne #engage365
5:19 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan Believe it or not, they are on some NYC garbage trucks. Makes no sense but true. I may put one on my business card #engage365
5:20 pm tracibrowne: I've just read about a local magazine that is using them here in the Philadelphia area #engage365
5:20 pm jeffkorhan: RT @rayhansen: here is a quick and easy QR code generator http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ #engage365
5:21 pm rayhansen: ive seen them on the cover page of presentations that links to the presenters slides, contact info & comp url #engage365
5:23 pm jeffkorhan: @rayhansen That's the one I use. Here's a post w/links - and a visual of a QR code I made from Kaywa: http://bit.ly/asO7NV #engage365
5:23 pm rayhansen: here is another interesting use in times square http://mashable.com/2010/06/10/internet-week-qr-codes/ #engage365
5:24 pm jeffkorhan: @rayhansen I missed that one. That's cool! #engage365
5:25 pm tracibrowne: I'm a bit ignorant here...how do they work for the end user? #engage365
5:26 pm rayhansen: you need a QR reader. plenty of free ones for iphone - you use your camera and it essentially sends you a link or message #engage365
5:26 pm jeffkorhan: @tracibrowne You are merging digital w/the physical world. And geo-location enters into it too - via mobile devices #engage365
5:27 pm tracibrowne: holy sheeze...what's not to love about this technology...what CAN'T you use it for? #engage365
5:28 pm jeffkorhan: @rayhansen To complicate this, Microsoft has their own version - called simply tags, which are multi-colored. #engage365
5:28 pm mmcallen: MeetingsPodcast TWEETUP #wec10 #eventprofs #engage365 on Jul 25th. RSVP at http://twvt.us/wec10 #wec10
5:28 pm jeffkorhan: @tracibrowne Imagine an engaging dialogue that never stops - the code keeps you connected to it! #engage365
5:28 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan how would these QR codes be used at meetings? #engage365
5:29 pm rayhansen: @mmcallen way to stomp on the chat mike! #engage365
5:30 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan One way is to validate "check-ins" at event locations, e.g trade-show. Make a game out of it w/giveaways. #engage365
5:33 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan Another idea is to use code on brochures to edu on channels, hashtag, etc. Once you scan you've got it 4 later. #engage365
5:34 pm tracibrowne: this sounds complicated RT @jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan One way is to validate "check-ins" at event locations, e.g trade-show. #engage365
5:34 pm hashtager: # @chrisuschan Another idea is to use code on brochures to edu on channels, hashtag, etc. Once you scan you've got it 4 later. #engage365
5:34 pm rayhansen: I like it! RT @jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan Another idea is to use code on brochures to edu on channels, hashtag, etc..... #engage365
5:35 pm tracibrowne: This I can wrap my head around RT @jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan Another idea is to use code on brochures to edu on channels, hashtag #engage365
5:36 pm chrisuschan: @hashtager sounds like the end of a tangible giveaways... hopefully one can take notes and write on their digital file #engage365
5:37 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan makes sense for those who like everything digital - and maybe events can stop wasting money on totebags #engage365
5:39 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan I hear that. I just left yet another totebag behind. Are their charities to send them to? #engage365
5:39 pm jeffkorhan: You can also think of QR codes as like an iPhone app. Updates come straight to you. #engage365
5:40 pm kimgeralds: Very cool RT @rayhansen: here is a quick and easy QR code generator http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ #engage365
5:40 pm chrisuschan: RT @rayhansen @jeffkorhan: Another idea is to use code on brochures to edu on channels, hashtag, etc..... - I like it too! #engage365
5:41 pm chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan They come to you RSS style? #engage365
5:41 pm jeffkorhan: @kimgeralds It's amazing how well they work. I successfully scanned one from my laptop screen! #engage365
5:42 pm tracibrowne: @chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan Hey if it weren't for the totebags I wouldn't have cheap gifts to give to family! #engage365
5:43 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan Good question. I suppose for how you would have to reconnect as like an app update ... but yes, RSS #engage365
5:43 pm tracibrowne: @jeffkorhan I bet homeless shelters would welcome them -- conference totebags #engage365
5:43 pm chrisuschan: @tracibrowne LMAO like squeeze balls, sunglass holders, pens... my kids love that stuff #engage365
5:43 pm rayhansen: no. I think all smartphones have an app. It's just better on a #iphone RT @chrisuschan: @jeffkorhan... #engage365
5:45 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan My kids are 18 and 20 and they still ask...what did you bring me from the event?!! #engage365
5:46 pm jeffkorhan: [Moderator] We can switch topics? What's on your minds? #engage365
5:47 pm chrisuschan: @rayhansen love the iPhone, but AT+T drops calls around here like mad #engage365
5:48 pm jeffkorhan: @chrisuschan I think I'm the only satisfied AT&T customer. No problems here in Chicago or most areas I travel to. #engage365
5:48 pm tracibrowne: @chrisuschan between conferences and companies trying to sell me swag I can't remember the last time I had to buy a pen #engage365
5:49 pm rayhansen: @chrisuschan you know its funny. I had a worse experience with ATT on a blackberry than iphone #engage365
5:49 pm tracibrowne: @jeffkorhan HA! me too...I have to fake the drop... #engage365
5:50 pm jeffkorhan: @tracibrowne I'm not an Unconference expert, but that seems to be an area to "un" - i.e. let go of the old way. #engage365
5:50 pm rayhansen: worst city for at&t... New York by far #engage365
5:51 pm jeffkorhan: @rayhansen I have heard that. Surprising, isn't it? #engage365
