Webcast: founder of Twitter at UNL tomorrow
Nebraska native Evan Williams will return to his home state tomorrow to participate in a series of events at his alma mater, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Unfortunately, these events are not open to the public, but two of them will be webcasted.
Evan Williams, the founder and chief executive of Twitter, will be at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln April 10 for a series of student events. The events will include question-and-answer sessions with students in the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management and the College of Journalism and Mass Communications that will be streamed for the public on the Internet.
Plans for Williams' visit to UNL include lunch with representatives of the Raikes School and the University of Nebraska Foundation, followed by a broader discussion with Raikes School and several College of Business Administration students, availability with media, followed by a meeting with College of Journalism and Mass Communications students and an interview for the Campus Voices radio program. These sessions are not open to the public.
Interested Web users can watch Williams' session at the Raikes School live on the Web from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at http://raikes.unl.edu, and at the Journalism college from 3 to 4 p.m. at http://newsnetnebraska.org.

Amazing live presentation!
If UNL posts the replay/recorded version I suggest everyone in the web space listen to the period between 33 minutes and 41 - it's great stuff about EW's feelings on starting tech biz in the Midwest and what needed to succeed.
Also approximately at minute 45 there is a great question from the audience about how Twitter can generate revenue - it's a 3 part rationale for what the firm is doing now and why... it's very informative and instructive for any business in the web space, not just mega popular firms.
Note: The audio was quiet - so make sure you speakers are working or your head phones have volume adjustments.
