I'm very curious how they will compare to next year's tallies.<br /><br />It was something of a wake-up call to compare the number and relative quality of the #aam09 tweets to those related to the Museums and the Web conference (#mw2009).

Your analysis of the tweets runs true to my experience. That said, I was able to connect to tweeters, expand my community, link to some of the presentations, get a sense of some of the buzz, and in a small way be at the conference on some level from a very far distance. <br /><br />What I hope for in the future is that folks learn how to more effectively cover sessions for those on the outside. There are a few tweeters who understand how to send out messages that quote a speaker so you know whose voice is being heard. The best tweets not only cite but also add insights. Good messages are gifts. <br /><br />At the same time and really with no surprise my conference experience had huge holes. For example, the tech folks did dominate the tweeting. We will know that this platform has succeeded when content topics spread out to cover more of the field. <br /><br />I could go on...but if I did, I should craft my own blog post.Susannoreply@blogger.com
