The following is an *unofficial* list of TEDx Manitoba participants and their online coordinates. These are the people who — someplace on Twitter — have references that at least imply they’ll be there. The list was built from my TEDxMB Twitter List, so the “@” links and “#” hashtags below are Twitter links. The Bio’s are mostly from Twitter as well. I have only included the speakers for whom I have social media particulars rather than just websites, since (a) the official TEDx Manitoba site already has that info and more, and (b) my intent was more toward connecting/following through social media.
Those who are keeping Twitter lists of TEDx Manitoba attendees seem to have topped out with around 24–28 people on their lists, which is a good percentage of 100, given that Erica Glasier figures that less than 2% of Winnipeggers are on Twitter (70% on Facebook). Matthew Shepherd calculates that the LinkedIn figures are close to Twitter, so I went ahead and started a LinkedIn group for TEDx Manitoba participants, and encourage anyone who plans to be at the event to join the LinkedIn group. Meanwhile, over on Facebook, 567 people “Like” the TEDx Manitoba Facebook page. (Whatever that means.)
I’m hoping to connect with and meet a number of new people at the event, and have begun following them on Twitter as I find them. To that end, I welcome connections through Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Facebook, or here on this blog. If you’re not on the list below but will be at the event, leave a note in the comments section along with any relevant web coordinates.
