Update: The conference wiki list "SUNYLA08" as a tag, so I changed the instructions to reflect that. "SUNYLA08" is just a little bit easier to type ;)
The past conference blogging usually went through the conference blog, with individual authors signing up and posting directly to the conference blog. This time around I wanted to let everyone use their own Web 2.0 tools. The following are instructions for people who want to cover the SUNYLA 2008 Conference using their own Web 2.0 tools.
Conference Blogging
Step 1: Add your blog to our Conference Blogger Listing at the Conference Wiki.
Step 2: If you are using a category or tag to specify your conference blogging, indicate it in your listings. I should be able to get an RSS feed specifically for a category or tag.
I will be using Yahoo! Pipes to merge all the RSS feeds from each blog together to form a single Conference RSS feed. Here is an example:
Conference Feed Example
(this feed will be displayed on the front page of the conference web site.)
Conference Twitter
The nature of Twitter is more about following each other, so I will leave the interaction to you. There will be a SUNYLA2008 Twitter that you can follow, but it will post updates from the conference blog using TwitterFeed. The conference wiki has a listing of conference twitterers:
http://sunyla08.pbwiki.com/Conference+twitterers
So feel free to add your user name if you would like to share tweets?
Conference Flickr
Tag your photos with "SUNYLA08" and leave the rest to me! I will have a slide show running on the conference web site that will automatically retrieve photos with the "SUNYLA08" tag. The slide show will be posted as soon as I find a photo tagged with "SUNYLA08" tag. Feel free to join the SUNYLA Flickr Group as well.
If there are any other Web 2.0 tools you would like me to cover, or if you have any questions, send me an e-mail at fujiuck@buffalostate.edu.
