ODIN reporting from RFID Journal Live live– Twitter by the experts for you!

Here at ODIN I’ve made it a personal commitment that we are good industry stewards first and foremost. When I wrote RFID for Dummies I gave away what many people in the industry thought were our trade secrets– how to do a proper site survey, get a macro view on how RF behaves and understand the physics. When we published the first Benchmark it hurt our relationship with hardware vendors, because no one likes to hear their shortcomings, but it helped end-users understand what was important and made the industry better performing. Those are two big examples of ODIN being good RFID stewards. We’re continuing that tradition this coming week in Orlando.
ODIN’s experts will be reporting on the newest and most exciting events from RFID Journal Live 2009 in real time over Twitter. We’re setting up a system so other show attendees can add in their opinions of events and products.
For those of you who don’t use Twitter don’t worry – we’ve solved that problem too. You can go to www.RFIDTweets.com or www.RFIDtwits.com. All the comments sent in by ODIN engineers and other show attendees will be aggregated for you to review on that site over a normal browser.
If you have a Twitter account and are going to the show we’ve got a hashtag set-up:
ODIN has created the hashtag #RFIDJL .
If you don’t know how to use hashtags it’s real simple. Before you submit a tweet put in #RFIDJL then write your tweet and hit send. This will allow our search API to automatically pick up anything written about RFID Journal Live and add it to the site, or allow users to search it easily on Twitter.
During a time of tough economic times and tight budgets ODIN is trying to do what we can to help those folks interested in RFID who can’t be at the show in real time. I hope you find it useful and as always let us know if you have any ideas for improvements.
