Tags

We'll use tags to help find photos, blog posts and more created by conference attendees.

The universal tag is "Berkmanat10" If you like, you may also use "Berkman" (e.g. on Twitter, where character space is limited)

Question Tool

The Question Tool is used to ask questions during an event. Everyone can vote individual questions up or down and comment on existing questions, helping enhance the dialogue and letting moderators know which questions are most interesting to attendees.

IRC Channel

IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. For Berkman@10, we'll be using IRC to create a Berkman chat channel. To join the chat, download an IRC client and join the Berkman channel at Freenode, linked below. If you use Firefox, an easy IRC client plugin is Chatzilla.

Facebook Group

Flickr Group

Flickr is a photo sharing website where you can upload conference pictures. Be sure to tag them Berkmanat10 so they show up to folks looking for conference pics. You can set your default tags for new uploaded pictures so you won't forget.
