One issue with using twitter at conferences is that most people will do posts that are of more interest to their own followers rather than other delegates.

That’s why we developed http://www.moreconference.com to help conference organisers set up a social network which is limited to just delegates. It makes for a much better conversation!

I have put together a tutorial on how to log tweets after or during events to create an archive of event activity for later viewing. Check it out: http://ngn.bz/log

Only a few months back my company finished work on a new product for presenting twitter content (tweets) to a large screen. Way more than ‘web browser on a stick’ we have developed a two-part application suite designed to be robust in a live environment with full moderation capabilities. The first outing for the system was Eddie Izzard’s Stripped Tour (UK, Europe and USA 2009/2010). Please get in touch if you have other applications on +44 (0) 1438 360 058.

For a striking example of live tweeting and its implications for presenters, see the account of a keynote address at the recent Higher Education Web Conference on my blog. I wasn't there; in fact, I'd never heard of the organization till I saw it mentioned in my tweet stream. The bottom line: a presenter out of tune with participants, a flood of tweets, and the phenomenon of the harshtag. A follow-up post gives analysis, further details, and links to posts by participants.

As the official tweeter for the @threebythesea conference of east medical librarians that ended yesterday, I thank you for your insights. It looks like I did most of your best practices. Didn’t have the opportunity for a tweetup, and I’m not sure whether or how the organizers will archive the tweets, but I think the tweeters did a nice job. I’d like to add:
Make sure your twitter name is available: we had to modify ours after discovering the one we wanted was taken. Make sure your hashtag hasn’t been used by another group, or people searching for your tweets will get a lot of false hits. Find out who tweeters will be beforehand and ensure that all concurrent sessions are covered. Next time, I’ll remember to do that last one.
