Thinking Digital + Reframed

After eight years of inspiring conferences in Newcastle, Thinking Digital is heading west for its first ever conference in Manchester on November 3rd.

We’re excited to have Reframed back on board as partners to make video more social for the TDC community watching via the free live stream in real-time and on catchup.

At #TDC15 in May this year - hailed as the best yet - Reframed captured 3,500 tweet across the live conference from 148 countries and six continents and synced them with the live stream, which helped double engagement with catchup viewers.

Sounds great. So, what is Reframed and how does it work?

Reframed allows you to comment on, share and discuss specific moments of video in context, no matter whether you’re watching live or on catchup.

Reframed captures tweets using #tdcmcr and syncs them to the session videos as they happen on live broadcast and while the viewer is watching the video on demand so the conversation is always in context.

This way you can see who’s driving the conversation and join in. Wherever you are or whenever you’re watching, you never miss a moment with Reframed.

Share moments: You can tweet directly from the video. The video will play from that point and link people back to that moment.

See reactions: People’s tweets are displayed next to the video at the moment they’re tweeted. And you can skip to the moments of the video generating interest via the activity graph under the timeline.

So, it doesn’t matter if you’re watching live or an hour, a week, a month later, you can join in the conversation.

And, if you’re signed in, you can see your own tweets and make your own public and private notes for each session’s video.

Awesome, sign me up. How do I use it?

Live stream viewers will have a ‘unified experience’. You’ll be able to see tweets and pause, restart or watch later then make your own comments all on the same screen.  

Each comment is shareable and brings people into the exact moment of the video you want to share with a deep link.

1. Follow the links from the Thinking Digital website or social media accounts to find the live stream 2. Sign in using your Twitter account 3. Share moments with one click

The great thing about the Reframed player is that the content and most importantly the context will live on after the event closes. People can watch the event at any time and also have the benefit of seeing all of the tweets and comments as they happened.

“The live stream and the collaboration between Thinking Digital and Reframed was a massive success so we can’t wait to work with them again at #TDCMCR.” Herb Kim, creator of Thinking Digital.

Fantastic lecture by Tom Scott on technology - specifically, how our hardware and software hasn’t seemed to change in the last 5 years, but user behavior certainly has.

The Speed of Outrage: Tom Scott at Thinking Digital 2015

Tom Scott is a YouTuber who got me though Uni. I mean that literally; I referenced his talks and projects in a few essays. One of them was a futurist dystopian talk called Mob.

He's moved on from this type of work; he's off doing educational videos on linguistics, "Things you might not know" and computer science. However he still dabbles as a futurist speaker around the place.

His recent talk is worth watching. What's changed in the last 5 years? Technology wise; not much, but our culture has changed a lot. He points to aggressive outrage and bullying which was at the outskirts on the internet 5 years ago has now come to the forefront. And he talks about technology that is coming that when implemented properly will amplify that even more.
