9. The Twitter Story, the TEDxGuangzhou Story: 2009

David remained one of the most visible Twitter users in China since many joined the service in 2007. He was a key part of the China 2.0 tech tour across China, held shortly after the 2008 Summer Olympics, and was one of the “must-follow” accounts as featured by AdAge in mid-2009.

This visibility meant he was a natural choice for inclusion for TEDxGuangzhou, which was held on 05 December 2009 in front of an audience of over 600. In front of this audience, he did a talk where he expressed how important social media meant for everyone, including stressing the need to keep the messages and interactions real and authentic.

This would not be the only time David would share the TEDx stage with others; he would return next year to host a similar event.

9. 2009 年: 在 TEDx 大会讲述推特（Twitter）故事

推特成为近年以来越来越为重要的社交媒体网络之一。到了 2009 年，冯琰已稳居北京的推特排行榜头几名，影响力极大。2008 年，冯琰参加了有许多海外技术界重要人物出席的《China 2.0》活动。2009 年，美国《广告时代》刊物将冯琰列为“中国事务必须关注的 25 名推特专家”之一。

知名度如此高的冯琰，自然而然成为了 TEDxGuangzhou 大会的一个部分。2009 年 12 月 5 日，冯琰在广州的这次大会上，阐述了社交媒体在当今对每一个人多么重要，并强调只有通过真诚沟通，才能“搭桥”，相互了解。

同时，这只不过是冯琰第一次在 TEDx 大会上“冒泡”，下一年他将回到台上，做 TEDx 大会主持人。
