SQL Saturday #29 Presentations & Twittering
March 26, 2010 21 Comments
Tomorrow, I’m presenting a couple of sessions at SQLSaturday #29 in Birmingham, Alabama. Here are the presentation materials I’ll use.
- SQL Server Locking & Blocking Made Simple (Presentation | Script 1 | Script 2)
- Tips & Tricks for Writing Better Queries (Presentation | Script)
Reaching Out to the Twitterverse
While I was in Seattle last fall for the PASS Community Summit, I saw a couple of presenters effectively reach out to the Twitter community while giving their sessions. They had someone tweet important points for them as they presented their session. Then, as the Twitterverse posted questions in response, the designated liaison would voice them and tweet the presenters answers. It seemed to work out really well.
So, I’m considering trying that for tomorrow’s sessions – if I can find an attendee who doesn’t mind acting as the liaison.
Question: Would that be of interest to you? Would you like to follow some of the sessions for tomorrow’s SQLSaturday via Twitter?
I’ll let you know what the Twitter tag will be if it works out.
I hope to see you there, or at least hear from you via Twitter during the session.
Joe, there are a number of interesting ways to integrate Twitter into your presentation. The PowerPoint Twitter Tools from Tim Elliott are amazing. http://www.sapweb20.com/blog/powerpoint-twitter-tools/
Voting, Crowd Meter, open Twitter stream, etc. FYI… there is a control to filter unsavory tweets if necessary. Check it out.

I think it is a fantastic idea. There is actually a professor at UTD that is doing it. Check out this article about what she is doing. http://bit.ly/aptmyR

Joe,
I was unable to attend SQL Saturday this time around, but I was eagerly watching your tweets throughout, and Great Job! I am currently downloading the Presentation files and Scripts for both your talks today. And thank you so much for extending your drawing! I never win anything, but I can try! The more important thing is your presentations, though.
Joe,
I totally enjoyed your presentations yesterday and learned a great deal from your Tips and Tricks for better Queries. My brother-in-law who introduced me to you at the back of the room (129B after Sven’s presentation was totally right. You really are a class act, a wealth of knowledge, very accessible and generous with your time. Thanks so much for sharing your valuable time with us. I too will be following your blog daily.
