New Experience: LiveBlogging FINOVATE Conference in S.F.

DIY Paperweight

Today I’m livebloging the San Francisco FINOVATE conference, and thanks to the modern technologies, I’m actually doing this from the comfort of my own home, with the company of my secretary-cat, Arthur.

The conference is now on break, so I’m catching up on posts and setting up all of my link-backs, but the experience of live-blogging an event via Twitter and Blog is fantastic. Very interactive and real-time, as if I was there at the event, without the handshakes and uncomfortable shoes. I can’t help but wonder how long the traditional conference and convention will continue.

I’m posting my messages at www.prosperlending.blogspot.com, but here are the links to some of the posts today.  On Twitter, the posts are tagged #FinovateStartup09.  Side note to convention planners, please choose a shorter hashtag. We bloggers can’t say nearly as much about your event when our 140 characters are taken up by your chosen hashtag.

Speculating a Prosper Re-Launch (by the way, I speculated right).
