[Web4lib] The value of Twitter as back channel

[Jane Jorgenson]

I agree about the miscellaneous ones.  When I attended PLA the early
tweets were about where to eat, what panels people were attending,
where to meet up, how well the wireless was working, who'd seen who,
etc.  It was a mixed bag but that was good because it made it clear
that as I was getting oriented, everyone else was too.  It was only as
the sessions began that the tweets became more content-heavy.  And
that was okay.

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.
