It’s Ruralnet’s Collaborate 2008 conference today and they’re experimenting with using micro blogging site Twitter.  Twitter limits posts to 140 characters so succinctness is the key!

The idea is that if you go to the conference’s twitter page http://twitter.com/collaborate2008 you can follow a thread of people commenting on the event, people who may be in the room or thousands of miles away.  You can also leave your own question or comment on the day.  I’m looking forward to hearing what people thought of it.
