It’ll be hard to flow of people and places at events like Defcon without it.

Mostly I view twitter as a noise application. It posts “microblogging,” a term which people with near zero attention spans seem to say a lot, updates everywhere, it uses the @username to respond to things. I view it as the ALL CAPS communication medium.

So I’m not in love, but I will use it via Twibble on my Nokia n95 to geotag myself and figure out where people I know are having fun when there are a few thousand people milling around.

There will also be flashmob like behavior coordinated by a con twitter id during the event itself.
