#SomosVoces Twitter Hashtag

Before the Somos Voces Youth Media Conference officially begins, I would love to try out a Twitter Widget that may be used for both internal and external communications at the conference: The Twitter Hashtag - aka: #

For all of you on twitter, simply type #SomosVoces after your twitter message to be pulled into the live conversation. For those of you who are not on Twitter, no worries, you can still follow the live stream here: http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23somosvoces

This is a test, but may turn out to be extremely helpful!

El Salvador Bound

The Youth Media Conference being hosted in San Salvador, El Salvador from July 12-15 has a brand new website up and running. After experiencing the flashy intro (no pun intended), Steve Jobs might be wrong about Flash being dead - looks new, bright and engaging - Nice!

While I was reading through the list of countries attending this conference, it made me wonder how long until a language translator button goes mainstream for international conference websites. Check out our translator at the top of this blog - it has kinks but it's good to have a one-button-click away option for full site translation.
