In keeping with Twitter's structure, here are my 5 things in 140 characters or less each:
1. When you provide value to readers, they appreciate it. My number of Twitter followers doubled over the course of the conference: 100 to 200+.
2. Not all of my new followers are interested in WLTcon, or even writing. Some want to handle my PR, and some want to handle... me.
3. Reporting live is fun. I felt like (1940s radio voice:) Shannon Morgan, Cub Reporter! Firing off tidbits was quick, easy, and info-driven.
4. Twitter is a great tool for service. Many folks couldn't afford the cost of the conference, but still got lots of info through tweets.
5. It's cool to read what 2 different tweeters take away (+ post) about the same panel. Perspectives varied and were more valuable for it.
If you want to read the Twitter stream (all the tweets) for the Writers' League of Texas Agents & Editors Conference, go to Twitter and put #WLTcon in the search box. (#WLTcon was the hashtag, or label, for this event.) The most recent tweets will be at the top.
If you'd like to follow any of the folks involved, just click on their username. That'll take you to their profile, where you can click on Follow.
