Twitter has become a popular tool at conferences, because it's quick & easy "microblogging" format makes it simple for folks at the same event to update each other and take notes on their impressions.

Tags
We'll use tags to help find photos, blog posts and more created by conference attendees.
The universal tag is "Berkmanat10" If you like, you may also use "Berkman" (e.g. on Twitter, where character space is limited)
Question Tool
The Question Tool is used to ask questions during an event. Everyone can vote individual questions up or down and comment on existing questions, helping enhance the dialogue and letting moderators know which questions are most interesting to attendees.
