'Failures'Not as much interaction as we would have liked - why?
Added interactionTalkr, photos, mobile blogging, ...
Where did we start?
It's all Rod Ward's fault
There was online reporting (and life) before blogs, Google, Web 2.0 etc

Purposely collaborative model – 'on-the-fly', 'real-time' blogging Professional development and virtual participation
Tried different blogging software (b2evolution, Blogger,Sys9, Tiki-wiki ...)
Settled on WordPress (for the moment - plug-ins)
Core 'krew' of contributors – welcome others
In practice, usually 2-3 main contributors per event

Blogs for virtual conference participation
What we had hoped for:
- lots of people wanting to post items
- lots of comments
- lots of readers
- demonstration of the collaborative model working.

Blogs for virtual conference participation
What we found:
- many promised but few delivered- the principal providers were the main bloggers
- interaction is lower than hoped for
- reminders to people help in readership levels.

Blogs, interaction and participation – some evaluation data and lessons learned
Generally felt to be a useful adjunct to eventsMost felt it was easy to useShould be available post-event (archive)
Must be easy to access and participate- eg wireless – or people won't post during the event
Reminders boost readership
RSS feeds to email/browser

Conference blogs
- on-the-fly reportage or analysis?
- time and collaboration elements make it different from much other blogging
- we believe it is worth doing, and valuable to those who read and contribute
