Tweetworks TV Episode 9 – Geeky Groups

There’s an inner geek in all of us. What are you geeky about?

On today’s episode Mike Langford shines a light on some seriously geeky groups.

Props given to Benjamin Nugent for his book “American Nerd: The Story of My People.” Listen to his appearance on @WBUR’s On Point radio show.

We also have a very special call in guest.

Featured Groups:

StarWars: Were the Ewoks part of the rebel alliance? This is the question that made the Star Wars group a necessity. May the force be with you.
Star-Trek: Kirk or Picard? It’s impossible to have a geek show without a nod to the Trekies. Group started by @joeTwit2.
NASA: This is the real space stuff. Group started by @Loreen72.
AugmentedCognition: What the bleep is augmented cognition? Sounds geeky huh? Group started by @silverton.
AutoTwitter: Do you geek out about Web 2.0 stuff? Well lend you thoughts to the auto industry brainstorming session. Group started by @JohnCass. A must read for the AutoTwitter discussion is Tom Osenton’s book “The Death of Demand: Finding Growth in a Saturated Global Economy”
TeamSystemGeeks: Do you know what Microsoft Team System is? If so, stop by and cheer up @MichaelRuminer

I know, we’ll get the conversations moving better soon. A few things we have in the works now will help keep people engaged.
