I like the, “are viruses alive” and “how are vaccines made for newly emerging viruses” – check out where I work – http://www.bu.edu/neidl and see why that’s the case

Totally novel for the SGM and me! These are data which I will use when the Virus Division reviews the meeting and I reckon they are also worth sharing with the Scientific Meetings Committee. I tried it as an experiment to see how many people would use Twitter to communicate directly with one the organizers of the virology side of the SGM Spring Meeting. I see it as a great way to get a feel for what people want to hear and let it impact the planning. The 10 questions idea seems to have worked pretty well and I have had some good 1:1 and online suggestions/

I found it very interesting that there was much more discussion/tweeting in the symposia than in the workshops. This makes sense to me given the different content being presented. Do you think it’s less necessary to comment as the level of specialization and detail increases?

I have the feeling it’s just a start. By the way that’s a good link you provided, the guide is well worth a read.

There’s quite a big literature on this sort of analysis, but it’s novel for SGM :-)
Good to see it catching on finally. I’m going down to talk to SfAM next month about this sort of thing ;-)

Great analysis – was a nice experiment in using this technology at a conference. Can we conclude anything about using twitter at conferences? One thing is that why was the amount of people tweeting and conversing so low when compared to the number attending? How can we use this info to encourage and make the whole process better? Also what about facebook and g+? …I think you could write a paper on this :-)
