At most of the library and technology conferences I’ve attended lately, an interesting phenomenon called the “backchannel” has developed.  Attendees–as well as those who had to stay home–participate in chat about the conference using tools such as Twitter or Meebo Chat rooms.  Look for both of these to be taking place over the next several days.  I’ve set up a Meebo Chat Room called AALL08.  If you’re already a Meebo user, just log in to meebo.com and search for the “AALL08″ chat room.  Alternative, go to the Law Libraries and Librarians Ning group (http://lawlibraries.ning.com) and join in the chat room there.

If you’re using Twitter, remember to use the #aall2008 hashtag in your tweets to make them easier to follow and to filter.

Speaking of tags: if you’re posting photos on Flickr, blog entries on your own blogs, videos on YouTube, or whatever, use the tag “aall2008″ to bring them all together.

See you online!
