Why
a
Conference
“TweetBook”?
How
often
do
you
leave
a
conference
and
ask
yourself:
“That
was
nice,
but
now
what?”
A
few
of
us
were
pondering
that
precise
predicament
at
the
conclusion
of
the
Open
Government
and
Innovations
Conference
(now
affectionately
known
as
“#ogi”)
when
I
mused
that
we
should
create
something
called
a
“TweetBook”
–
a
neatly
packaged
compilation
of
all
the
tweets
from
the
conference.
Then
I
saw
a
from
@pbroviak
on
GovLoop
and
learned
that
the
two
‐
day,
grand
total
included
4,423
tweets
from
629
contributors
that
comprised
over
150
pages
when
dumped
in
a
Word
document
.
Daunted
but
undeterred,
I
proceeded
to
spearhead
the
project
with
on
GovLoop,
asking
if
anyone
was
interested
in
crowd
‐
sourcing
it.
Within
hours,
there
were
more
than
20
comments
from
volunteers
like:

Nichole

also
helped
immensely
with
sorting
out
and
formatting
thousands
of
tweets.
A
million
thanks
to
all
of
you!
Within
days
,
we
pulled
together
what
you
now
hold
in
your
hands…uh,
I
mean,
read
with
your
eyes
(sorry,
Mr.
Weinberger
–
old
paper
‐
based
habits
are
hard
to
break!)
–
an
innovative,
first
‐
of
‐
its
‐
kind
(at
least
in
government!)
conference
“TweetBook.”
Yes,
we
bridged
the
broad
divide
of
time
and
distance
to
demonstrate
the
power
of
social
media
on
a
multi
‐
sector,
multi
‐
national
project
completed
in
an
open,
transparent,
and
highly
‐
participatory
environment
(could
I
get
one
more
shout
out
for
@GovLoop
bringing
the
thunder?).
So
enjoy
the
product
of
people
doing
what
they
do
best
–
sharing
knowledge
–
in
this
“compendium
of
140
characters
or
less”
from
two
data
‐
packed
days
in
July
2009
when
a
crowd
of
concerned
citizens
gathered
in
Washington,
DC,
to
give
fresh
voice
to
the
cry
for
a
participatory
democracy
whose
hallmarks
are
openness
and
innovation.
See
you
on
GovLoop
