Using @eventtrack at Microsoft Community Leaders Day

By chris dalby | November 22, 2007

When I go to events, I normally twitter commentary from the events. So a new tool has popped up called event track, that allows you to group together tweets from whoever wishes to join the conversation at an event simply using tags.

It also inserts, flickr photos and del.icio.us links that match the event tag too. So this will allow us to get a great chronological lifestream of the event in the form of an RSS feed.

I’ll be tweeting stuff not under NDA and if anyone wants to join the conversation, follow the steps below:

On twitter, follow the user eventtrack

  • At the start of the event, tweet @eventtrack start*cld07
  • Start twittering like normal, everything you Twitter from now on will be grouped into the cld07 event
  • After the event you can send a tweet @eventtrack stop*cld07
  • Now the system will no longer pay attention to you
  • Any flickr or del.icio.us tags you create using the cld07 tag will join the conversation

    • Simple and easy and for those of you not attending or those that are you’ll be able to follow the collective conversation via this URL or using the RSS feed.

    Be interested to get peoples views on this.
