This week Twitter is getting a huge media bump from the events in Iran. I have heard / read several pieces regarding the fact that as hard as they might try, the powers that be in Tehran cannot shut down in information flow regarding the recent elections. Exactly one year ago, I wrote a short blog concerning the technology that allowed me to sit at my desk and watch the US Open on-line, respond to E-mail and talk on my cell phone. This year, I can add twitter to the list.

While I will check in on this year’s Open at some point, my focus this week is the infoComm09 trade show in Orlando. The odd part is that I am not attending. As I read all the Twitter messages coming from those who are there, I feel a little voyeuristic. I know that @AVDawn got a late start, but is heading to a business meeting and then hitting the exhibit floor. I know that Gary Kaye of @ravepubs has been to the NEC and the Omnivex booth already this morning. You can get Shuttle passes for $15 (cash only) and @CliveDYoung wants to know what booth is giving out the best swag. It really is a little spooky.

We have a booth in Hall C, #1655 that Bob and Steve are manning. When I talk to one of them about non-infoComm-related stuff, I also get an update on what is going on in Orlando and then I will post for our followers. Again, all a little spooky. I wonder if this is how President (for now) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad feels? Oh, and if you see Clive Young, please tell him we have mini Sharpies with our logo – stop by 1655 in Hall C and we will take care of his swag jones.
