THE RED LINE through the green phone indicates my three year-old Nokia E90 phone is connected to a caller but no road noise is coming through the phone's microphone. I scraped the screen at left while aboard Irish Rail going 82 mph (the phone's GPS gave me that info) and while listening to seven other people in a telephone conference. I had earbuds snapped into the phone and with my mic muted, I wasn't generating any background noise for the rest of the call. One person with an open window to the outside or one phone in a noisy traveling environment can destroy the conversation. So I listened and learned and wondered what I might do for the 22 April 2010 IIA social media event. Being tied down to a tight academic semester means I won't get to the event myself. The teleconference explained details about how the afternoon programme offers an in-depth look at how to maximise the impact of video and audio content for your business. Experts from YouTube, RTE's Online Media Division and RaboDirect will share tips. The event is in the Clarion IFSC and it costs EUR 45 for IIA members. IIA Events -- "Behind the scenes of audio and video content online" is a seminar from 1130-1700 on 22 Apr 10 in the IFSC Clarion Hotel, Dublin, Ireland.
