How we did it
Ideas for conducting Hubba #3 (aka "Jim's Blog Makeover") on Friday, May 8 as a test run for Allan's June panel remote participation:
1.) All participants call in to Jim's conference phone line
2.) All participants log in to their own Twitter accounts. If you do not have your own, then log in to the group account Catherine set up at http://twitter.com/socialmediahub
3.) In another window, all participants open and view http://tinyurl.com/socialmediahub [update: Tinker.com may offer a superior way to display the aggregate I set up at http://tnkr.in/vc]
4.) During the call, Allan will live-Tweet the call
5.) Other participants can also Tweet but must use the #smhub tag (if you are using the socialmediahub account, you should also add a carat symbol and your initials at the end of the tweet like this: ^AH)
6.) At the end of the phone conference call, everyone can continue to Tweet for a minute or two, so we can test the experience
7.) If this turns out to be interesting, for the June event we can invite the panel audience to live-Tweet the same way, using the #smhub tag
8.) On a screen at the event site, we can project the "live stream" as it aggregates at http://tinyurl.com/socialmediahub or http://tnkr.in/vc
