While I hate it when people do not switch off their mobile phones completely during lectures and public meetings, this is one thing for sure I don’t mind using the phone for:
In the Socialist Studies Center, discussing the Gaza victory controversial.

We microblog demos and strikes always, but not as much when it comes to lectures. I think it’s a good idea to encourage the audience to live-microblog events, if no wireless or laptops are available, using their mobile phones.
We can tweet quotes from the talks or debates we are attending, say, every five minutes, to update and share the event with a much bigger audience on the net.
So keep tweeting, but please make sure your mobile phones are on silent mode.
