Wow, I REALLY Get Twitter Now

I met Pete Karl at the An Event Apart SF 09 opening night party and he told me about the A Feed Apart website his crew at Lion Burger made. The web app basically aggregates tweets with specific hashtags onto a simple to use website interface.

Twitter is cool and all but this was one of the first truly useful ways I saw tweets being used beyond the usual. People were live tweeting as the presenters spoke so that we crowd-researched links and resources as the presenters mentioned them.

This was actually one of the most inspiring “lessons” learned from AEA. Not anything technical, but the tenacity and spirit to innovate with great useful ideas.
