I’ve been to a number of WordCamps over the past year, and invariably, in the registration process I’m asked for my Twitter handle and the majority of the time that Twitter handle is printed on my name tag.
Why are we doing this?! It’s not TwitterCamp. It’s a W-O-R-D-C-A-M-P!! Why can’t we ask for and put our own domain names (running WordPress, natch…) in our registration and on our name tags?! Let’s get with the program people… Twitter is nice, but obviously WordPress on a domain name we own and control is far better.
@c Goodness! I can’t believe that one’s URL is not the default; that seems like a wasted opportunity for a conference about software for powering blogs and websites. Hope your call-to-action falls on receptive ears!
@c I’ve never understand that about WordCamp either. Then again, boffosock.com is a lot shorter than islandinthenet.com
@khurtwilliams but that doesn’t make it any less interesting…
Thanks @smokey. It’s just the start of a longer conversation that will need to happen in person to help things along…
