Andrew,

Thanks for the follow-up, and especially for the suggestion of tools to help capture what’s in the stream.

Hi Everyone,

I just noticed this blog post and wanted to say thanks for recognizing our efforts. It was a labor or love and took about 50+ hours from 8 volunteers, but I think the end product was worth it.

There are a couple new tools out right now that help to capture the proceedings of events:

http://www.tweetdoc.org

http://www.twapperkeeper.com

These have limitations based on number of tweets it pulls and presentation formats, so I am working with some folks to get a new and improved Web-based version (not a PDF, though it should have that functionality).

Stay tuned…and let me know if I can help in sharing the process we used, etc. More on that here: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/idea-open-gov-innovations

Don, I couldn't agree more. I've skimmed the transcripts for lrnchats that I didn't participate in. And when I do take part, I don't worry about missing something, because the transcript'll be there for me to search. (Earlier post mentioning lrnchat from June 1st and July 3rd.

I participate in #lrnchat and really like the transcript for review and identifying some other Twitterers that I should follow. The transcript is especially useful after the drinking games. ;)

Janet, you’ve probably seen the #lrnchat transcripts; the OGI tweetbook is another example.

Sure, some of the individual tweets might not offer much–but that’s for the person reading to decide. What interests me is the filtering / reworking / mining going on.

And those who worked to reformat and organize this stuff deserve a lot of credit.
