Google Wave vs. Twitter at conferences
Hoping for real-time audience interaction at your next conference?
Twitter is not alone. This post in FreshNetworks' blog describes the innovative use of Google Wave during a recent Ecomm conference where delegates banded together to edit a single, collective summary of each presentation... as each presentation was being delivered.
The screenshots in this blog say it all. It's such an awesome idea!
I usually carry my smartphone with me, which is essential to tweet or access group tweets during any event. The downside is that I don't usually carry my laptop when I attend a conference, and I think I would need it to participate in a Wave.
I admit that "Waving" could be a bit distracting to the live educational value of the presentation. That said, I am one of those people who is twittering several times an hour during events... I admit that I can't wait to try creating my own Google Wave with a crowd at a future event.
Fascinating use of the new Wave platform. What a great way to share your notes!
