Rationale

It seems, that when attending conferences, a very useful means of keeping up to date with the Conference story is to check the conference hashtag on twitter.

I thought that this might be augmented to make a place that could capture the story of the conference in a single, summarised and documented place.

The first thing accomplished is a simple Notice Board with the ability to chat realtime about the Notices.

When I get to an Internet enabled space – I'll incorporate more ideas that utilise the twitter streaming API; the notices will evolve to become a kind of living storyboard of the event.

Thanks for checking this out.

More to do?

  • Better Message UI
  • Add Twitter accounts
    • Tweet out
  • Evolve the layout to become a Storyboard
