All the images and blog posts were already indexed and I just had to create the jigsaw from the pieces :)<br /><br />Plus I had the assistance of a great editor (MissFiveby5 - credited in the book) who spent a few hours picking up all the errors I missed.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />CraigCraig Thomlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350603210658700252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750343339904865739.post-15295274355844959492010-10-08T21:55:13.698+11:002010-10-08T21:55:13.698+11:00Craig

I really liked the photos and layout - wish every conference I attended had something like this as a take-away. This can be a huge undertaking - how did you manage to do it all in one weekend?Pam Broviakhttp://www.publicworksgroup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750343339904865739.post-88222757610137641962010-10-08T18:14:35.670+11:002010-10-08T18:14:35.670+11:00Hi Susan,

I did cut out tweets that were off topic, repeated similar sentiments or were simple retweets. I cannot say whether this means bias has crept in - will leave that for others to consider, but I tried to be balanced in the editing and reflect the views of tweeters.<br /><br />I have thought about releasing an archive of the full tweets, as these are on the public record anyway. No-one has asked me for this yet however :)<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />CraigCraig Thomlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350603210658700252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8750343339904865739.post-30953972951556291932010-10-08T11:36:20.357+11:002010-10-08T11:36:20.357+11:00This is rather fascinating.

Its another dimension to having the presentations - it feels like an uncensored /unedited interpretation of the presentations from multiple view points made at the time they thought them, not after some reflection. Its more like having a colleague tell you the relevant highlights for them. Oddly, because they are strangers to me, I feel I can trust their comments and recommendations because they aren't being cloaked in corporate politically correct speak. From a records management point of view, its another way to capture the medium, so that you have another record of the conference. I suppose there might be a question of whether the person who compiles this has compiled it in an way that ensures it is an authentic record? ie We don't know what might have been excluded? Has original order been observed? If not does this need to be stated up front?? Thanks for the mighty effort and for sharing.Susan Kennedynoreply@blogger.com
