Tech Thursday: Orange Conference Tech Tools

Did I tell you that I am going to be at the Orange Conference in Atlanta, GA next week? Of course I did. Do you want to keep up with the conference even if you aren't in HOTlanta? Well, I've got great news for you. You can and not only by me but by a host of people.

First let me tell you the approach that I'm going to take to cover this conference. Let's break it down into 3 categories. The hardware, the software/ways to follow along, and the giveaway.

The Hardware
1. iPhone
2. HP Tablet (sorry iMac you have to stay home)

Yes that is all the hardware I will need. I like to make it easy on the travel bag. I think you will be amazed though by all of the things that you can do with just these 2 pieces of hardware. Moving on...


The Software/ways to follow along
1. Scribble Live will be here at mckeelive.com (and yes this is a blogger site and not wordpress, I know already)
2. Twitter will be lively at twitter.com/mattmckee with pictures, quotes, and fun stuff
3. Qik will be streaming live video to qik.com/mattmckee, mogulus.com/mattmckee, and facebook. You can actually interact with the live video that is being shot from my iPhone at qik.com/mattmckee.


The Giveaway
I have to opportunity along with some others to give away a sign autograph copy of Reggie Joiner's book "Think Orange". The book is signed by him and not me unless you really want my signature but I don't think you will. The book will not be released until June so don't try and go buy it right now. Anyways, here is how I'm going to give the book away. I have a feeling that there is going to be 1000 guys at Orange that look like this guy:



So here is the contest... The person who looks like and sounds most like Danny Gokey at the conference is going to win the book. I will be taking pictures of the finalist and maybe have a poll to see who you think should win the prize.
