Karen notified me that she’s blogged our Twitter experiment. From her email to me:

"I have just blogged about our Twittering experiences

It seems that you can only display 200 ‘tweets’ in your own timeline or on somebody
else’s page. I have not been able to find any reference to date expiration.

On the missing tweets/updates, this is a known bug and they are working on it. See
http://blog.twitter.com/2008/02/case-of-missing-updates.html."

My main problem with using Twitter to microblog events is the lack of opportunity to fully comment on and/or analyze the presentations in the post. I think blogging is vastly more flexible and easier for the reader. This assumes, however, that there is a live Internet connection. As Karen points out, the INSOURCE organizers were absolutely fantastic in providing both free wifi in the conference room and electricity for us.
