I have used Twitter passively over the past few months - sometimes forgetting to login for days on end, but I truly felt the power of the tool at this conference. (I hate that I missed the Twitter conversation @ the Blogger Cafe yesterday morning). It allowed for me a way to connect with others that I may never had been able to.
My memorable Twitter moments:
- Bemoaning my lack of cowboy hat since I was watching the keynote streamed in the blogger cafe and having Marlo Gaddis pick one up for me :)
- Having Lisa Parisi send out a large group invite for lunch which allowed me to meet Scott Meech, Bud the Teacher, Derrall, Christine, & Adina Sullivan
- Watching the contest of "Who can Twitter This first" at the Twitter Dinner
- The Twitter/Edublogger dinner (Thank You again Sharon Betts) that allowed me to connect with the people I have read snippets of their life for so long
- Sharing session/Ustream information and getting to multitask (It was like traveling with a group of friends and dividing and conquering the sessions)
All in all, even though I'm sure that the non-NECC people that follow me on Twitter were completely perplexed, I think it was THE TOOL that helped make this conference experience one of the great ones.

Hi Bethany from back here in Wales - NECC was truly a great opportunity to netwrok and meet some of my personal learning network and find more people to follow.
