At every WebInno event, we’ve had a bit of down the downtime between main dish presenters. This provides a great opportunity of just a few moments for others to share what they’re doing and ask for the community’s help. So for this upcoming event on November 6th, I want to experiment with adding “nibbles” – extremely quick announcements by individuals or companies to the entire crowd.
Perhaps you’re a technical founder looking for a business partner? Or maybe you just launched a new private beta site and you’re looking for beta users? Or potentially you’re seeking a specific partnership from a type of company that may be in the room (or someone in the room may be able to make an intro)? Regardless of the announcement, if you would genuinely benefit from crowdsourcing (and not just using the air-time for a blatant commercial), then a “nibble” just might do. This open call is meant to help further connect people who can help each other and provide the entire crowd with a window into activities within the community.
If you’re interested in participating in this test exercise, please email the exact three-sentence announcement/question which you’d like to broadcast to “nibble at webinnovatorsgroup dot com.” If selected, you will have exactly fifteen second to make this exact announcement to the crowd in between main dish presentations. Unlike I do for the main and side dish presenters, my apologies, I won’t be able to respond to every single request personally. And also in contrast to the other presenters, individuals can be from any type of company – self-funded startup, VC-backed, large firm or agency, etc.
Thanks everyone – looking forward to seeing you at the event next Tuesday night.
Crowdnibbling sounds like what you are doing during the down times, a great idea and sure way to get information/crowdsourcing out there.
The greatest benefit might also be the fact that the nibblers get to introduce themselves to the crowd resulting in a healthy social exercise.
I must say that this whole nibbling thing makes me think of those pesky black flies that love to nibble on ankles when one is basking in the sun/by the lake in high summer!
Cheers, Alan
