Further Explanation on Using Twitter for Attending a Conference

If you are not familiar with twitter, here is a nutshell of how it works for attending a conference and creating an Emotional Resonance Spectrum.

If thousands of people attend a conference, then hundreds will be giving short updates (less than 140 characters) using their phones via the twitter web application.  Every conference has what's called a "hashtag" that people use.  For example, the Willow Creek Leadership Summit happening while I type this has the hashtag "#TLS09" which stands for "The Leadership Summit 2009." You can go to twitter.com or one of umpteen apps that have a search window.  When you type "#TLS09" in that search window, voila, you have tapped into a stream of comments that create an ERS.
