[Web4lib] The value of Twitter as back channel

[C Ward Price]

I just read the first 30 tweets from Bill's list, and there wasn't a damn thing there of interest.  I don't care about who's packing their bags, riding on the train, etc.  "http://twitpic.com/2b2fx4 - Nathan sat in Ed's chair...hilarity ensues!"  Are you kidding me?  I'm still skeptical.

I'd been skeptical about the usefulness of Twitter until I started
using it at conferences.  Following what others were doing and posting
my own brief thoughts with a conference hashtag was incredibly useful
and has made me a Twitter convert.

Thanks for posting this.

I was the official twitter coordinator for the conference.  Over 200 people attended.  The conference hastag is #IDSCONF10.  There are over 530 tweets that used that hashtag.  The content quality of the tweets i high in my subjective opinion.  You can see an archive of the tweets at http://twapperkeeper.com/hashtag/idsconf10 .  I am creating a more organized archive grouping them by the conference session tweeted.  I will post that URL when I finish.
