Like you I have been a long time advocate and user of the social networking genre to promote and use technical tools to move the proverbial needle of NPO's. Alignment of technology to the mission and biz model is just as important to NPO's as it is for the For Profit world. I was one of the followers this year from afar but knew so many who attended and followed as closely as I could. Having the Twitter feeds was almost like being there. You've guilted me into picking up the book! My hat is off to Holly, Ana and crew - sounds like they hit real dinger!

I too found that I knew so many more attendees because of Twitter, even though I am fairly new there, and I was able to skip through a lot of the initial ice-breaking conversations that you do when you first meet a stranger. This time, my third NTC, I actually felt part of the community before I got there, and certainly today, still riding high on the good vibes. Kudos to Holly, Analiese, Anna and all the staff and volunteers who put it all together every year! Peter, excellent point about twitter names on badges.

I thought I was applauding how Twitter was used. :) Hmm, I might have misspoken. I thought I was applauding how Twitter was used. :)

I like your thoughts on how Twitter could have been utilised better. Then again, we are only seeing the beginning of this intersection between social media and events. When these tools are not just left to the realms of geeks at conferences, it going to be powerful stuff. If you are ever in Australia, give me a yell Eddie Nice Summary.
