Monitoring the FPA Anaheim 2009 Conference Twitter Backchannel
The FPA Anaheim 2009 conference is underway, and while I am unable to attend this year (something about watching my son while my wife takes the pediatric board exam) I can still glean some good information while monitoring the backchannel on Twitter.
First, most (but not all) tweets from conference attendees contain the hashtag #fpa2009. The hashtag present in the tweet allows Twitter Search to easily find tagged messages and display them all at once.
Since not all attendees are tagging tweets with #fpa2009, I’m providing a list of people that have been posting conference related messages. If I had more time, I’d make an icon to allow Twitter users to follow these individuals in one click, but I have to change some dirty diapers.
For now, here’s the list (in order of my personal rating of quality/quantity tweets):
[Updated Monday, October 12, 8:40AM PDT]
- The Financial Planning Association official Twitter feed
- Sam Fawaz, CPA, CFP® (aka TheMoneyGeek)
- Michael Branham
- Liz Pulliam Weston
- Sam Richter
- John Comer, CFP®
- Brett S. Ellen
- Matt Porter
- R.J. Nashleanas
- Louis Barajas
- Lee Baker
I imagine there are more out there, so as the conference continues and new people send tweets, add their names to the comments below and I’ll do my best to update this list.
