Twitter when visiting conferences

Twitter is a great tool to use when attending a Conference/Event. This will stimulate, motivate and inspire your (fellow-)Students ("Motivation is contagious!" Seeing that someone is motivated leads to more commitment and better performance, even on other tasks. Cite from Jeroen Bottema)

You ask your -Colleagues,Students and Family to follow you on http://twitter.com and send them your twitter account and -if you know that allready- a Hash tag .

(a Hash-tag is a short word starting with '#' that people insert in their messages when twitting on a specific subject. This is often the conferencename fe. #oeb10 for "Online Educa Berlin 2010" ).


You 'tweet' your

-interesting impressions,
-statements
-links to presentations
-Hash tags

Colleagues, (fellow-)Students and Friends (and fellow conference guests) will now get 'live' information from your exiting impressions.

It is a good idea to also publish your impressions more extensive on a Blog (like this).

ps. Twitter does NOT specificly need an internet enabled phone. You can Twit perfectly well from a 'normal'PC/laptop.
