Social networking for narcissists

Today I spoke on a panel about social networking at the XBiz Summer Forum. I thought it would be fun to tweet (I hate using that word; I want to punch myself – but who am I to change the language?) while I was sitting up there. Furthermore, I thought I would not be the only one doing it. After all, Joanna Angel was on the panel, too, and she’s 28. All those kids use the Twitter. But I was.

Here is my Twittercast of the proceedings. Parceling out my life this way gives me a thrill like the one Charles Dickens must have felt when he serialized “A Tale of Two Cities.” Make sure you read from the bottom up:

• peter sez twitter should not be judged by existing social network standards

• margaritas, not the pool water

• want to go to pool and drink

• there was my big laugh

• 3 billion tweets as of today

• how to make direct money from twitter

• tweetads

• michael points out that tweeters are liable for dirty links

• bsg speaks about shaq

• wayne hentai=excellent publicist

• it’s like clapping for tinkerbell

• joanna says people do care

• lost the opportunity, i’ll try to make it come around again carly simon style

• I’m about to get a huge laugh….

• …but i’d date myself….i’m a cheap date

• i say mad libs and date myself instantly

• is tweeting a dialogue with one person? Is to be followed a tacit understanding that there is a conversation?

• pete: why would you schedule tweets? isn’t that sacrilegious? life isn’t scheduled. this is my life

• to be unfollowed is like a slap in the face, says kimbirly

• “people will feel spammed,” says JA of irresponsible tweeters

• shut off your cell phone doosh

• “definitive personality” is something JA values

• i am a golden god, said robert plant

• brian gross is a good moderator

• pete says “funneling a firehose of data.” Good alliteration.

• michael says social media marketing to grow 150%

• JA says that twitter is converting 1:150 for her

• having a sandwich now LOL

• kim k uses the word “incentivize,” which i believe is a def leppard album

• i say i have minions update my facebook fan page

• newest platforms easiest to master, says michael, b/c they do not have the legacy

• michael says myspace to be “multisocial,” says Tom is still a friend

• SO WEIRD TO HEAR JOANNA SAY “years ago”…

• JA indicates disapproval of myspace. the horror. Et tu, JA?

• and i say, “go 80 year old men “

• michael suggests that women on myspace are actually 80 year old men

• kimbirly validates my facebook choice

• called out for tweeting

• i thought there were just three, and two of the three i knew about already seem superfluous

• kimbirly says there’s 27 other social networking sites

• where is my watchtower when i need it?

• i think 370 is the number of rapture participants as outlined in the book of revelation

• pornstar tweet tracks 370 pornstars

• “penetration boobs penises butts” – joanna angel

• watch your plosives, Joanna

• joanna agrees with me

• potato salad is great. don’t like it with eggs, thugh

• good looking audience

• i tell joana angel in front of actual humans that it’s fun t see her naked based n her food choices

• eric swiss shouts out from audience

• Me and Kim Kysar, twittering as we speak

• you know that everyone at the panel is going to be tweeting from it. GET IT? With all this meta going on there will be no room for substance

Unlike the last panel I saw Joanna Angel speak in, there were no heart attacks. Probably because her Blackberry wasn’t charged.
