Beer and Blog

WebVisions is coming next month and to get things heated up, we want to start a war. A Twitter War that is! Here’s how it works:

Panels of the brightest and loudest technological minds at Beer and Blog will debate against one another with winners decided by viewers via Twitter. Each topic will have a panel of 4 participants. The topics are:

* #Javascript vs. #Flash
* #Wordpress vs #Drupal
* #Firefox vs. #Safari
* #Facebook vs. #Twitter
* #Bridgeport vs. #Deschutes

Each panelist will have one minute to state their case, followed by 3 minutes of free-for-all. People can comment and vote via twitter the entire time. The judges are Brad Smith, Executive Director; Stephanie Wagner, WebVisions Board Member; and Chris Alan from Enact Development. They will be pulling new tweets every 10-15 seconds, and showing ones the judges likes. Judges will determine the best panelist and the best audience comment to win a free pass to WebVisions! If you already have a pass, sorry the prize is not available to you. Second place winners will receive a WebVisions T-shirt.

In a moment of genius, Justin Kistner came up the idea of Beer and Blog, a weekly meet up based on bloggers helping bloggers over beers. Who can’t love this? And WebVisions is happy to spend two Fridays hoisting a pint or two with fellow bloggers…join us on April 17 and May 15 for the WebVisions Beer and Blog events in Portland. Let Brad know that you’re going to be there!
