Using Twitter During an Academic Conference: The #iswc2009 Use-Case

Abstract

We recently addressed a survey to Semantic Web researchers, in which Twitter was ranked in the top three services used in order to spread information and reach peer researchers, students, as well as a broader audience. In order to figure out how Twitter is really used by this community, we conducted an analysis of the Twitter feed of the recent 8th International Semantic Web Conference (#iswc2009).
