The idea that discussion on a certain topic only happens within one website is DEAD. People are using social media services like never before... and increasingly people are using several at a time as complements for each other.

An event can mean as-it-happens news on Twitter, friend gossip on Facebook, a blog report on Blogger and photos on Flickr. How do people follow this? Well, often the old-fashioned way... email and forums ("hey, i uploaded the goods to Flickr"...). But conventions for marking conversations as being on a certain topic have emerged.

"The #kettlebell is sweet torture" is the Twitter hashtag way... at YouTube videos can be tagged, say powerlifting squat record NASA Masters 2009. And the sweetest thing? Now someone searching for tweets on #kettlebell or YouTube videos tagged powerlifting will find the goodness.

Virtualmeetverse = all discussions on virtualmeets on the Internet... inside this box! Surely, a mouthful? Yes, we obviously only track PUBLIC discussions and to find it out there we need to know where to look. And this is where tagging discussions as being related to virtualmeets comes in.

At the moment the following material is automatically found in the Virtualmeetverse:

YouTube: videos tagged with virtualmeet.
Twitter: tweets directed at @virtualmeet or containing the #virtualmeet hashtag.
Flickr: pictures tagged with the virtualmeet tag.
Delicious: bookmarks that have been tagged with virtualmeet.

(note that some limitations may be in place for various services. For example, Flickr does not show pictures in the public search for accounts with less than five pictures.)

What's in it for me? To stay on the pulse without having to browse in here all the time, you can subscribe to the Virtualmeetverse feed or have it delivered to your inbox (Virtualmeetverse is currently updated about once every 5 minutes).

If you blog, upload meet footage to YouTube it gets even better! By bookmarking your blog post about the meet you did via Delicious with the virtualmeet tag or tagging the meet prep video at YouTube with virtualmeet you bring it to the attention of the community. You get keen readers for your piece and the readers get to know what's happening around a recent meet out there. Win-win!

If you already posted some stuff about virtualmeet, it's never too late to tag it! Chances are it will appear near the top in Virtualmeetverse during these early days with moderate traffic. And it'll definitively lead the material to be added to our archives for future enjoyment. :)

Feedback? Need help? Let kris@virtualmeet.net know! Would you really like to see another service added to Virtualmeetverse? Feeling totally lost about all of this? Got a question? As usual, I'd love to help where I can. This is pretty exciting. It may not take off like a rocket, but it does open the door to some powerful possibilities.

See you out there (and of course, in here too)! o/
