Use Twitter to Listen in to a Conference That You Can’t Attend

Yet another business reason to use Twitter is staring you in the face (in case you're not convinced). I can't physically attend the terrific Government 2.0 BarCamp taking place today in Washington DC. No matter... I can peruse microblogging updates from dozens of attendees by plugging in #gov20camp to Twitter Search. Even better, I can subscribe to the RSS news feed for the event and read the real-time updates about the sessions via Google News Reader. AND here are the pics from the event that have been uploaded to Flickr today - and tagged gov20camp.
