I found the experience very interesting. At times it did feel like I was talking during the presentations (these won't necessarily have shown up in the feed as they weren't tagged), but ostensibly I used the tweets as a different way of taking notes. And reflecting on what Dennis mentioned in his keynote about notes, at least these won't be left gathering dust in my attic, and they may even help other people by offering a different dimension on the proceedings/giving a commentary to a session they didn't attend.
