ALA 2009: Meet vs.Tweet

摘要

My colleague rebecca miller was unable to travel to the American Library Association (ALA) conference last month in Chicago. Instead, she attended an alternate conference, following the tag #ala2009 on Twitter and culling the "Top Tweets" for LJ. It was no mean feat-there were over 5000 tweets marked #ala2009. She called it a Twitter-fest, where "participants created their own.. .conference on the fly, exchanging news, insights, and sensations around the clock."
