Since there are alternatives to Twitter (identi.ca, for example) I think what the focus needs to be is on the real time web and real-time information. Our Event Bookmarking solution, for example, provides that in spades (http://www.tinyurl.com/EventBookmarking) and it gets around the 'public internet' and DDOS as well. I will, however, take exception to your "over 40" comment and here's an example. Several thousand people just attended the ASAE 2009 conference in Toronto. Of the Top 20 Twitterers, 18 of them were "over 40". It's not the technology but as you say, the introduction and comfort with it, that is critical. Hi Nick . . . thanks for your comments.

A benefit of Twitter is that for many people it requires no explanation as to how to use it. So it's immediately accessible. Unfortunately this is not the case for the majority of people over 40 who may be excluded from the process. Whatever the interactive tool it's essential that it is introduced correctly and that it is reliable.

Lots of this info sharing going on ad hoc at #sxsw but neat to see it being integrated on the controlled event organizer's side. Great stuff.
