Capturing a conference using social software

Email This Entry

Posted by Seb Paquet

A quick link to Lee Bryant who's at the Emerging Technology conference and enumerates some of the social software-powered parallel channels that are being used by participants. Many-to-many indeed.
Various people around me are tapping away on keyboards blogging the event in real time, and like most others I am also monitoring a disjointed and fast-moving chat session on two simultaneous channels, as well as having occasional one-to-one chats via Apple's Rendezvous technology. Oh yes, and then there is SubEthaEdit, which is a tool that allows Rendezvous-enabled people in the room to take collaborative notes. This is perhaps the most practical tool we are using - one person will cover the current points, whilst another backfills the detail of the previous point and others go off and research references and links that get added to the document.
(see also Stephen Downes on online conference discussions, which mostly deals with asynchronous modes of interaction.)
