#CASECMT is over, but the blogging has just begun

Update from Denver International Airport, 7:20 p.m. MST: Newly christened higher ed blogger Paul Redfern of Gettysburg College has posted his thoughts on the conference at his brand new blog, Higher Ed Web Marketing. Go have a look and welcome Paul to the wonderful world of blogging.

A quick post from the San Diego airport to a.) apologize for the light blogging during the CASE communications, marketing and technology conference (as usual I overestimated the amount of time I would have to blog and underestimated the other faculty obligations), and b.) let you know that the blogging isn’t over. If all goes well and I land in Denver on time, I’ll have plenty of time to kill before my connecting flight to St. Louis. Plus, I’m anticipating some guest blogs from fellow faculty members.

In the meantime, you can check my tweets on the event at http://hashtags.org/tag/CASECMT/. As with blogs, the posts are in reverse chronological order, so they might make more sense if you scroll down and read from the bottom.

Should I blog or should I tweet?

I’m heading west for the CASE conference on Communication, Marketing and Technology. I’m looking forward to presenting, learning from colleagues, and enjoying the mild San Diego weather. I also plan to post my observations from time to time. But the question arises: Should I blog about the conference or tweet about it, via the web 2.0 toy du jour, Twitter?

Most likely, I’ll be posting on Twitter. It’s quicker, easier, and I can do it from my cell phone.

If you want to follow along, I’ve created the hashtag #CASECMT to make it easier to track on Twitter.

If you’re on Twitter and want to follow #CASECMT, here’s what you need to do:

  • Follow hashtags.
  • Next, follow eventtrack.
  • Then send this message to eventtrack:

    • @eventtrack follow #CASECMT

If all of that sounds too complicated, then just tune in to this blog or follow along at my Twitter account.
