The Twitter Brain - Hello Ignite Episode II

"Twitter is basically like small snippets of text working like neurons - getting fired back and forth, interacting with each other. Basically creating a new kind of global awareness"

Hello Ignite

We have launched a new knowledge sharing concept in Hello Group. It's very simple: Every Monday morning a Hello employee gives a five minutes presentation about any subject, which is related to digital communication and marketing - or basically whatever is on the mind of the presenter that morning. The concept is inspired by O'reilly's Ignite concept, so each presentation consists of 20 slides that auto refreshes after 15 seconds. Stressful - yes! But also very effective, because a presentation never lasts more than exactly five minutes.
In the name of web 2.0 and social media, we are of course sharing all of this incredible knowledge with the rest of the world. I will be publishing the presentations here on this blog, but they can also be found on Youtube, Facebook and Slideshare.

Our first Ignite presentation was given by our in-house rocket scientist (and I mean that literally - he build the freakin' Tomahawk missile...) Ashley Raiteri, who is talking about icons and visual representations in software and web development.
