Today I attended Barcamp Manchester 9 for the first time.
It is a two day unconference where anyone can present on any topic they want for 25 minutes, and anyone can attend.
As my public speaking skills are sorely underdeveloped I decided to do a short talk on the lead up to and launch of www.TweetFromEveryCountry.com.
I think the talk went rather well. Better than expected in fact. I possibly rushed through it a bit but don't believe I said "erm" much at all.
Though afterwards, I got to thinking about possibly pivoting the concept. You see, i've found trying to get others to tweet with the hashtag #TweetFromEveryCountry difficult, so instead, i've started adding Tweets from countries around the world myself and it's going ok.
