Two blocks of seats of bloggers and tweeters in the auditorium were putting out live titbits from the UKSG’s annual conference in Edinburgh last week (12-14 April)

Indeed Twitter was used by some in the audiennce and even those not actually there to pose questions to speakers and panels.

As someone who was ‘avoiding ‘ Twitter, I now have to rethink this. Within minutes my online eCommerce gallery for the 3 day conference going live, the URI was Tweeted by a delegate (thanks Tom Roper), then on Friendfeed and then on Tweetmeme (??). I only found this out as I subscribe to Google Alerts with various photography terms.

Fred MacAulay (BBC Scotland) was the keynote speaker at the gala dinner at the Signet Libraray in Edinburgh during the annual conference for the British Universities Finance Directors Group (BUFDG).

Err… dead pan funny as ever. I only intended  to get a few shots at the start of Fred’s piece but found that I would have advertised my departure right in the middle of the 230 guests and of his delivery.  A sure target to be picked on!!
