Wall of Tweets at World Economic Forum in Davos 2011 and at Macworld with NAVIGON

Usually announcements like this are covered with professional PR (and we will most likely have one as well) but personally I’m a big fan of Cluetrain Manifesto and their idea that markets are conversations and that their members do communicate in language that is natural, honest, open and genuine. It’s all about the real human voice and that’s why all our blog posts are written by my team members here at UX Passion – in their own words.

So, today, I have two major and very exciting announcements to share with you. Our Wall of Tweets twitterwall solution is running at the 41^st World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It’s a part of their Social Media Corner and it’s been highly customized for this occasion. We’ve teamed up with WEF’s team to provide best possible Twitter experience for their journalists, their guests and all attendees. And we are talking about names like Claus Schwab, CEOs of most successful and prominent companies, world leaders, presidents, ministers…

So, here’s more about it…

World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos - Powered by Wall of Tweets

We’ve even got support from Twitter (thank you guys a lot, your help, support and advices have been invaluable to us!) from the technical point of view – and so it was challenging and thrilling for us to innovate on this platform. Several days ago I’ve been writing about how we are inspired by our customers and their expectations – now I can say that one of those customers was World Economic Forum for their prestigious Davos 2011 conference.

Participation in the WEF’s Annual Meeting is by invitation only and is limited to:

Chief executives of the world’s leading global businesses, representing the Forum’s 1,000 Member companies
Politicians from the G20 and other key countries – including over 30 heads of state and government
The heads of all major international organizations
The chairs of the 72 Global Agenda Councils, representing a network of over 1,200 experts
Representatives from civil society stakeholder groups
Media leaders representing the top news organizations from around the world
Young Global Leaders
Social Entrepreneurs
Technology Pioneers
Spiritual and cultural leaders

Sounds like a great place for our Wall of Tweets to be!

And this is not all – this very same week we are running at Macworld 2011 together with our friends from NAVIGON. In 1991, NAVIGON introduced the world’s first dynamic GPS navigation system. Their pioneering spirit from back then remains their driving force today, constantly impelling them to develop new and improved solutions. Their goal: to continuously optimize the quality and safety of our products for our customers.

NAVIGON at Macworld 2011 is supported by Wall of Tweets as well

They are building on innovation, sustainability and many years of experience and setting the new benchmarks in navigation with quality, a focus on the future and design.

I dare to ask myself – Can I ask for a better and more interesting and inspiring clients?

To have such an opportunity to have your product running on Davos and Macworld is just – I’m missing a better word – mind-blowing but also something that makes you feel humbled in a healthy and smart way. We are cherishing our relationships we are building with our customers. Sure, sometimes there are bugs and there might be some glitches – but honestly, openness and willingness to pull dozen of all-nighters and then to read genuine and sincere THANK YOU from you client is something that makes you going and reaching for more.

Part of the Macworld 2011 experience

We are grateful for all these opportunities. We are grateful for the chance to grow and most importantly, and that basically our mission – we are in position to touch, innovate, influence, grow and change our customers, their businesses and their lives. That’s why we are here!
