[Web4lib] The value of Twitter as back channel

[Norma Jean Hewlett]

Twitter is just another way to communicate.

This includes communicating before, during and after conferences.

There are definite pros and cons about using it to communicate on
presentations while they are going on.

Some people hate it and others love it. Others don't much care.

You could say the same about any other communication medium, including email
or handwritten letters.

If you haven't tried it yourself, you really have no idea what it's like.

End of sermon/summary.
