Note for the unintwitiated: Twitter tweets are typically read from the bottom up, in chronological order.
OK, so this post is about the potential downsides of the 'back channel' at a conference. If the recent eduWeb conference was a back channel success, I'm predicting a few back channel failures, but not necessarily at the HighEdWeb conference.Social media can obviously get vicious, but personally, I'm hoping that most people have a little more class than to post snarky comments right in front of me.
I will be presenting at HighEdWeb 2008, and yes, there will be lolcats. Putting Twitter up on the screen while I present... not as likely. Will I go back and review all the tweets that happen during my presentation? You bet I will.

I'm putting this on my refrigerator. You made my day, sir.
There was some snark in the #eduweb2008 backchannel, and a vendor approached me about it. It was the perfect opportunity for me to candidly tell him what I really thought.
I'm totally printing this out and hanging it on my office door...
Oh, you bet I'll be talking trash. Mostly because I'm not going.
Hilarious!!! That's a freakin' riot.
One presenter actually threaten to post the twitter channel on the screen (I'll leave this individual nameless) at eduWEB. I dared them to do it.
ok, now I'm DEFINITELY looking forward to your presentation at HighEdWebDev.
