Josh Hallett has an excellent post up about how to blog a conference. I really liked his focus on outreach and conversation.
He recommends that, “during the conference use tools such as Technorati and Flickr to search for other bloggers posting about the events.”
Part of what makes blogosphere-oriented events so interesting, informative and fun is that half of the event is taking place in the flesh-and-blood world and half is taking place virtually. The more that participants join the virtual conversation, the more they’ll get out of the flesh-and-blood portion.
I hope that the virtual discussion at our upcoming conference is rich and multifaceted in this way, with people debating and sharing tips, tricks and hands-on information. If any conference attendee needs a primer on using tools like Technorati and Flickr to join the conversation, you’re welcome to ping me at teresa [at] blogbusinesssummit [dot] com and I’ll happily walk you through what you need to know.
Don’t worry, I don’t bite.
