MW2009 Backchannel Stars for Saturday

By jon pratty - Posted on 18 April 2009

Only 24 hours after our last burst of backchannel backslapping, we're here with some more awards. After a great morning of sessions in the conference rooms, you've been feverishly Tweeting, blogging and shooting Flickr pics.

It's been great reading the messages and seeing how people are making associations and connections within the backchannel. People outside the conference have been Tweeting into the feed from outside, and we're really pleased to see some great blog posts on your own sites - which we're going to recognise now.

First up - Blogging from the conference:

#7 Rhiannon Looseley's blog

briankellyDue to lack of unions in museums sector @jtrant & David Bearman have got us working at #mw2009 on a Saturday. Capitalist oppressors.

briankelly: @bsletten is right - photo at http://tinyurl.com/3aessg (expand) could be me. Waiting for groupies to arrive at #mw2009

boxuk: Last day at #mw2009 today. Met loads of lovely people. Looking forward to Denver next year already.

cborkowski: Good to see so many students engaged in conversations about social media tools and museums Tools which didn't exist a few years ago. #mw2009

NancyProctor: Tamara Tarasoff & Christophe Rhin, Parks Canada: handing out PDAs for us to try GPS content-nice to have the actual device in hand! #mw2009

NancyProctor: Kristel Kerstens: I like how Waag Society frames projects in terms of experiences & emotions, not technology & platforms #mw2009

@Vexus_Nexus Metadata sounds nicer when Finnish people say it #mw2009 ("metatieto" is the finnish word 4 metadata-unsure why I know that)

LornaOB: really enjoyed following #mw2009, thanks for the insights - made this by far the best conference i haven't been to :)

Musebrarian: What can you do with a semantic knowledgebase? Search for "beard fashion in Finland" across time and place. #mw2009

sebchan: Best ever behind the scenes revolving restaurant tour with curator Charles. The switch! #mw2009
