I had a list of people I wanted to meet in person, that I have had the pleasure to meet through my various Social Networks.<BR/><BR/>On the bright side, I was thrilled to see the DevLearn 2008 Live page. DevLearn joining the ranks of other conferences, such as Gnomedix and BlogWorld, showed me how willing the Learning Guild is to forge ahead and explore more of social media. It is great to be part of an organization that “gets it” <BR/><BR/>I was even more delighted to see a session on Twitter. Prompting conversations with the big screen was a great idea! Most everyone is confused in the beginning and it helps to talk about various experiences. I originally thought it to be a waste of time, now it is my favorite network tool.<BR/><BR/>Twitter is an excellent communication tool for conferences. It provides a method of immediate information, feedback and ratings on sessions. <BR/><BR/>And, yes you don’t want to be “that guy” or everyone on Twitter is going to talk about it.
