I would just add one thing for presenters: if you have a Twitter handle put it on your presentation slides so tweeters can provide attributions!Kathie Gossetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887138414497858457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-54601194189845468822014-01-08T09:07:39.157-05:002014-01-08T09:07:39.157-05:00Dorothy, thank you.

Encourage all your medievalist colleagues to #medievaltwitter. It would be nice to get active tweeters creating some fantastic discussions. MLA makes it easy, it has already set up session #. I think it's interesting that our European medieval tweeters are a bit more regular and vocal than American ones. dorothyk98https://www.blogger.com/profile/01975465695724783981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-27532103584445460522014-01-07T19:50:10.979-05:002014-01-07T19:50:10.979-05:00Dorothy: This is a great posting.

I can attest that conference twittering has made me a better listener: nothing like trying to summarize a presentation in 140 characters to ensure I capture (and remember) the paper's essential argument. <br />Like Jonathan, I'll be following the #medievaltwitter at MLA later this week. <br />Candace Barringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524749191300644796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-29712018213337275092014-01-07T19:15:08.248-05:002014-01-07T19:15:08.248-05:00@Dorothy: Thanks so much for this *excellent* post...@Dorothy: Thanks so much for this *excellent* posting -- not only do you make good points about general twitter-etiquette but you also nicely explain how this all works for medievalists who might not be used to live-tweeting at sessions. LOVE what you are saying about the connections between twitter and medieval commentary traditions (can't help but think of the crowded/frenzied embodied utterances in Chaucer's "House of Fame" here too).<br /><br />I'll be following the #medievaltwitter hashtag! Let's see what happens!<br /><br />And here's a great list of scholars to follow on twitter: https://chroniclevitae.com/news/255-4-scholars-to-watch-at-mla-2014 <br /><br />Note the end of this article lists other live-tweeters to follow for their MLA "commentary" -- indeed, tweeters are "commentators" in just the ways you describe!Jonathan Hsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214201468052661183noreply@blogger.com
