#ldsconf
It was an interesting experience following #ldsconf. To be honest, I felt a lot of the comments at the beginning and end were disrespectful and uninviting to the Spirit. During the actual talks, the comments a lot better- mostly just quotes from the talks. That was actually more helpful because if there was a quote you liked, you could probably find it on there. It was a pretty good summary of the talk. I still find following hashtags to be very distracting, though. I missed a lot more from the talks trying to follow the comments (though to be fair, for about half the session I didn't realize I was behind and that I could skip to the front of all the comments, so I was about half an hour behind). But even when I was caught up, I still missed a lot from the talks.

I couldn't agree more. I liked seeing the quotes I might have missed. But then trying to read all the tweet while listening to the talks was really hard! I found myself reading the tweets more intently then the talk.
ReplyDeleteTwitter brings an interesting new way to study conference but my favorite way is still reading the hard copy later.
