Watching LDS Twitter feed during conference
I watched the twitter feed for #LDSCONF during the Saturday morning conference. It was a really interesting experience. At the beginning of the session it was mostly distracting, since all the tweets were just people saying how happy they were that conference was here. As the speakers got started though, I thought the experience improved. When I would miss a cool quote, I was bound to see it latter on. For example, I missed it when President Monson announced that church membership pass 15 million; but twitter made sure I learned it. I was also able to see how others were interpreting the talks, which gave me a different perspective on what the speakers were saying. It was still distracting at times, but the benefits might have outweighed the cost of being distracted. I say might because it was a new experience and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

Hmm, good to know. I didn't get the chance to follow #ldsconf, but I think I would much rather follow the speakers.
