I should add that the X2011 West Facebook team's job is far from over.
We are now in the post-convention phase, moderating and facilitating
the many many many post-convention posts, sharing, and recaps that
are swelling the forums and X2011 West Facebook this morning.
All really good stuff and indicative of how much more happened than
any one individual, club, or team could see at X2011 West and
National Train Show, visible to a worldwide audience that couldn't be there,
and as a documentary record that is available online for worldwide
viewing right now while the convention's just 1 day over.
Enjoy that info at:
http://facebook.com/x2011westIf you wish to see what I mean. No Facebook account required to see and
observe, you won't be flooded with X2011 West content if
you click on the link above, you'll be just a 'viewer' of the over 340 photos
and 25+ videos and most of all, what others said and discussed about the X2011
West and National Train Show.
We are also in the post-convention learning phase. Valid comments were made about
'hey, how do I opt-in or opt-out from real-time coverage?" We're investigating
how we could do this better next time. We need to make sure all users have
options in Facebook to 'tune down' or 'turn up' or segment coverage.
We'll be reporting on that soon, and making sure that future Facebook
endeavors know how to prep users for giving
them those options as well.
Thx, all, and continue the comments pls!
