We interrupt your current programming (killer feature announcement, meeting at the XYZ bar) to bring you what's else is HOT at JiveWorld09

VJ Culture.

That's his name (though no one would argue that video jockeying doesn't have its own culture).

Just as a DJ mixes sound, a VJ mixes images. At Jiveworld09, cutting-edge VJ Culture (a.k.a. Grant Davis) will “mash up” the JiveWorld09 community, including snippets of the JiveWorld video contest entries.

VJ Culture has worked with Beck, Mary J. Blige, P-Diddy, The Rapture, Common, Eryka Badu, Jazzy Jeff, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, REM, Pearl Jam, and about every other top 100 DJ.

Check out his work, and imagine it with snippets of the Jive community. (Which reminds me, we extended the video contest deadline to 10/21 -- c'mon people! Enter!)

Rock Your Avatar with a Professional Photo Shoot

Don't you almost always notice when someone changes his or her avatar?

You can tell good lighting and a great expression, even when it's the size of a postage stamp.

So just imagine all the buzz you'll hear after you upload your hip new avatar from JiveWorld09 -- I can already see the Twitterstream of compliments.

At Wednesday night’s conference party, you can get your “glamour shot” avatar professionally photographed by our conference photographer, Colin Vincent. We’ve even lined up a makeup artist for the gals (and even the guys).

So plan to get in front of the camera and strike a pose — we’ll email you the photo after the show.

Rives' Slam Poetry, Jive-Style

Nationally acclaimed slam poet, Rives, is in his own words “a man of words that make more sense on the stage than they do on the page.”

You've probably seen him on TED telling a story of mixed emoticons. But nothing will compare to experience Rives in person at JiveWorld09. He'll be combing JiveWorld09 for the inside scoop on the Jive Community, and will blow your mind during his morning and afternoon sessions on Mainstage.

"Get Together" Photo Booth

Last but not least....

In case you haven’t noticed, JiveWorld09’s creative theme features photo booth photography.

At the show, there’ll be a booth (sponsored by Syncapse) so you can get your own souvenir photo strip. Don’t be shy! Grab your fellow customers and a couple of Jivers, pop in to create your own fun photo strips.

Phew! That's it. Are you ready to rock your JiveWorld yet?
