What a shame! I think some audience members don't grasp what you're doing (perhaps they think you're texting or something). It's true that in previous years we've been told as chairs to encourage live tweeting, but we weren't this year. And there were two hashtags going around, which I did bring up in the Green Room, but the festival didn't seem to think it was their responsibility to choose or announce which one they were going with. I like it when there's a definitive decision before an event, regarding a hashtag and the encouragement of extra conversation via social media. Oh well, maybe next year :) Nice to meet you after my session, too, Emily, and cheers again for your kind words.LiteraryMindedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017526368314189191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156528823270353530.post-60351365426300916642014-02-24T21:51:09.752+08:002014-02-24T21:51:09.752+08:00What a great post, Emily.

I felt like I learned an enormous amount and had my mind stretched and bent in new directions this weekend. Thanks for your kind comments on my chairing, and also for taking up the issue of live-tweeting. At Melbourne Writers Festival, tonnes of people were doing it and I think it really enlarged the conversation. I think those naysayers just need to move into the 21st century!Annabel Smithhttp://annabelsmith.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156528823270353530.post-59616041750956564302014-02-23T19:58:51.787+08:002014-02-23T19:58:51.787+08:00Such an impressive line up Emily, I'm envious!...Such an impressive line up Emily, I'm envious!shelleyrae @ book'd outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888977858862922561noreply@blogger.com
