Google Wave at conferences

Twitter is used with increasing frequency at conferences to allow conversations between attendees and with non attendees.  But it is difficult to summarize and organize information from conferences with only 140 characters at a time.  And it isn’t a good way to do it in an efficient collaborative effort.

Here is an example of how Google Wave was used in an experiment at a conference to “crowd source” writeup summaries of the conference.  They quite impressively organized a page with links to individual Waves which were put together live by attendees.  They also used it for feedback about the conference.

Because you can see each change made in Wave the instant it happens, it makes collaboration much more efficient.

I still have Wave invites, contact me if you would like to give it a try.
