They are live twittering about me in my keynote .. Is this a first?
I have not seen this before. I am giving a keynote at Innsbruck at the Microlearning conference. The conference organizers have set up a Twitter session and there is a whole backchannel going on about the talks! Interesting.. I have seen live blogging .. But live twittering is a first ...

Live twittering is really a variant on something that has been going on for quite some time - an open IRC channel during a conference. The Association of Internet Researchers conferences (we're at #8 this fall) is one place where I have seen this. Like so many "new" ideas, Twitter, is really more of an evolution of existing technology. In this case, a AJAX/Web version of IRC, with a much more fractionated set of channels than was ever manageable on IRC (and that was, of course, pretty fractional...)

We had live Jaiku commenting at NMK Forum. Embrace the European alternative. ;)
