  Press Release Source: #TwitterJamBand On Saturday February 6, 2010, 10:00 am EST

  MIAMI & SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Over the last six months, a group of social media musicians in San Antonio have been playing music together under the name, #TwitterJamBand. It's really been a way to get friends together, jam and just have some fun. In the process, the band is being noticed by the media, world-wide.

  As the band and the get-togethers progressed, they decided to combine social media with social good by holding what they believe to be the first live, streaming benefit concert during the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 7 (the band is not associated with the NFL).

  To learn more, please view http://www.theotherhalftimeshow.org. All donations will go directly to band’s friend,Holly Julian, who is having a lung transplant and needs about $100,000.00 to help defray her out of pocket costs that insurance won't cover. So far, Holly has raised $20,000.00 and the band hopes to raise $80,000.00 during this event.

Jeff Pulver’s 140 Characters Conference arrives in Barcelona on February 15th! (#140conf)

The 140 Characters Conference: Barcelona will be taking place during the afternoon of February 15th, 2010 at the Opium Cinema.

Since the launch of the #140conf events, conferences have taken place in: New York City, Los Angeles, London and Tel Aviv. At these events we have explored the effects of twitter on a wide range of topics including: Celebrity, “The Media”, Advertising, Politics, Music, Education, Public Safety and Public Diplomacy.

The #140conf events provide a platform for the worldwide twitter community to: listen, connect, share and engage with each other, while collectively exploring the effects of the emerging real-time internet on business.

Speakers at #140conf: Barcelona include:

- Jon Landau, Producer of Avatar and Titanic
- Bill Gajda, CMO of the GSMA Association
- Jeffrey Hayzlett, CMO, Kodak
- JP Rangarwami, Chief Scientist, BT
- Jeffrey Merrihue, Chairman, MoFilm
- Jeff Pulver, creator, #140conf
- Marketing Panel with AT&T, Best Buy, Chevrolet, Pepsi, Samsung & Yoplait

The first #140conf in New York City brought together people with many diverse backgrounds but the one thing which everyone had in common was twitter. To get a feel of what you can expect at #140conf Barcelona, please review the recorded videos from our NYC event

The schedule for the upcoming event will be unique and fast paced. It was my intention to provide a platform for as many people as possible to share their thoughts and engage in conversation with the attending delegates. You will find individual talks set to: 10 minutes; “Featured talks” 15 and 20 minutes and the various panel discussions are set for 15 and 20 minutes.

The take aways from this event will provide the attending delegates knowledge, perspectives and insights to the next wave of effects twitter and the real-tme internet will have on business. I hope you consider joining us at the Opium Cinema.
