Daily Ramblings

So I had the chance to attend a local conference here in Portland called Webvisions. The focus of the conference is to “explores the future of Web design, technology, user experience and business strategy”
Since this was my first opportunity to attend, and under the circumstances, I would be trying to twitter out as much of the information from the sessions I attended as possible.
This would also be my first real dive into live-tweeting sessions, while trying to listen and retain the useful bits for my own knowledge, but also to filter and tweet out pieces that could be useful for others that were not able to attend that particular session. With so many other people also doing the same thing, you expect to see some overlap in tweets, while also being able to just re-tweet others information.

Getting into the sessions, I will admit I was a little hesitant, as I don’t consider myself an expert, guru, coach or anything of the sort. It was a bit intimidating. However, that soon passed as I sarted to realize that everyone was there to do one thing, LEARN.

While I should have done a more comprehensive writeup closer to the end of the conference, I would have been able to breakdown each session for its individual values.
I will sum it all up to say, that I really enjoyed each session, retained something from each one, and also enjoyed the down time in between sessions and meeting others around the conference.
