#mobilechat: Wednesdays at 9:00 PM
(From the creator: http://redeapp.com/index.php/red-e-app-blog/entry/mobilechat-with-red-e-app)
“Here's why I want to moderate #MobileChat. I've been to plenty of conferences, seminars, and panel discussions in the past. I've found that I learn the most when the speaker stops the formal one-way communication presentation to the audience and does Q&A. I want to hear from others in the audience. I want to see what questions they have and get responses from the speaker and from the community. I want to ask the 'what if' questions or the really hard questions that take a community to answer, not just one person. I want to learn from others and I want to grow professionally.”
