"Talk to the track host, coz the guy is listening..."
I'm a big fan of Twitter, especially at conferences where I'm an organiser. Nothing gives a feel better for how things are going, or what people really want, than the brutal honesty of 140 characters.
So as we're now less than 6 weeks away from QCon London 2010, and I'm track hosting the "Pragmatic Cloud" track, I thought I'd get things rolling by asking if everyone going to QCon who are attending (or speaking at) the cloud track could add the hashtag #pragcloud (and probably #qcon would be ncie too) to their posts. I'll be monitoring those tweets so they're one of the best ways (short of pegging me to a wall as I wander round the conference) of getting your thoughts/opinions/corrections to me.
