But this time there was Twitter. It changed the whole experience for me, as I found myself interacting with hundreds of people, sharing favorite quotes and making comments. I used http://twitterfall to see all the other tweets tagged with #ldsconf. In all, 775 “tweeple” posted 5936 tweets (Thanks to @ldsconf and http://hashtags.org for correcting me and helping me keep track). The most was 242 by @heartensoul4u. I have to say, this changed my church conference experience. I stayed awake the whole time! Last October marked the the first significant use of Twitter at LDS General Conference, but I think it increased significantly this year. It was nice to be part of that.

Just for fun, I made a Yahoo! Pipes LDS General Conference Tweetmap to show where the last 100 tweets came from. I wanted to map all 2000+ tweets, but Twitter’s search API only allows 100 at a time. Good enough for now. If you’re curious, all the tweets have been organized by speaker here: http://conference-tweets.appspot.com. Enjoy!
