Twitter has been used at various conferences for some time now, and if you're not familiar with it - I'd suggest checking it out (not just for conference reasons).
If you're in the dark here - Twitter is an Internet service that allows people to post short (the size of a SMS Txt) messages that are available to anyone who cares to "follow" the user.
It's called "micro-blogging" but the uses go way beyond what most would consider traditional blogging activity. I won't go into all the details, mostly because there is a wealth of information online about Twitter, more skillfully written than I could attempt.
There are also references on RTP Physec to Twitter you can check out.
So - I'll be using Twitter next week at the ASIS conference in Atlanta. All ASIS related posts will contain the "tag" #ASIS so they will be easy to track. Not just my "tweets" but anyone who uses the tag #ASIS will be included in search results for the tag itself.
If you're going, and have a Twitter account - feel free to "follow" me, or - you can just subscribe to an RSS feed for the search results of #ASIS to see what everyone is talking about at the conference.
