One thing I love about the Web Summit is the peripheral entertainment. Last year there was a giant robot and a Tweet Cafe from the ESB.
Part of me was hoping for the return of the Tweet Cafe, I really enjoyed tweeting for my coffee but I also knew that the ESB were bound to have something even more quirky this year, I wasn’t disappointed.
Instead of tweeting for your coffee this year you have to Vine for it. Create a six second video using the mobile Vine app and you get free coffee and the chance to win a trip away.
Of course I joined in, you can view my attempt at the bottom of this post, I don’t think it’s a winner but I enjoyed making it all the same.
What really works well is what the ESB did with the Vines, the backdrop to the Vine cafe was a giant live Vine wall showing all the videos tagged with #ESBVineCafe, the effect was enchanting as you can see.
No robot this year but there is a 3D printer in action, printing Halloween charms thanks to Mason Hayes & Curren.
And here’s my Vine, entitled ‘Graveyard of empty coffee cups’
More on the Web Summit later on.
Amanda thank you so much for the update and post
Loved the vine hope you are a winner
Thanks Gerry, Turns out I did win!
