Twitter will perhaps never be really popular, not like that as Facebook is. But direct communication with Twitter, I often get very far closer contact with humans. And for me, Twitter is the fastest way to get a project, especially when I do not know who wants to be in cooperation.
In recent days there has been a part twittrande Göteborg Book Fair on September 24 to 27 - with hashtags # book fair , one can find much of what has been said. We've talked about tweetups (when twittrare meet in real life) and that it will twittras very distant. And in the last hours were arranged a new site - http://www.alltombokmassan.se - a site where we will gather all the book fair as blogs, twittras and down in the newspapers. Both before and after the show, but especially during the event is over. We are simply moving the fair's fun and noisy on the web. We want the book fair will be a concern of many more than those who can get to Gothenburg, the more the opportunity to participate in the thousands of discussions of literature, conducted at the exhibition floor and in seminar rooms.
And with the help of Twitter were a bunch who quickly wants to be with and fix the site. Writing Coach Johanna Wistrand on Multi Script found on the domain name. Donald Magnusson on the Future of the Book sailed up the whole thing and booked and paid for the domain. He and Dan Abelin be seen in Malmö and plan practical. Johan Thorén on Bokförlaget Thoren and Lindskog are perhaps also at the meeting.
And some have already expressed an interest to help in one way or another: Niclas Holmqvist , Andreas Johansson , Sjumilakliv on Pocket Blog and Petra Jankov Picha (as the blog has a different page ). Several others have also participated in the discussion of what the blog would be hot and contain. And all others who wish to participate in the project are welcome!
What we need most are:
* Make suggestions on what the site will contain
* Resolving the purely technical and design
* Plan so that the contents are kept extremely up to date especially in bokmässedagarna - and because many of us are busy with other things at the fair these days requires people who are not present at the fair but which can monitor knuff.se , Eniro nyhetssök , twitter feeds, etc. and make sure that the links end up on the site - unless we have smart widget and RSS feeds that fixes all that
* Already start to spread out the link and information about the site, so it really is such a focal point that we want
But the above is just my own first thoughts. Now I want to hear what the rest of you think we should use the site to. Please come with wild ideas. I will continue to throw yourself forward in the comments on this post.
We can certainly continue this discussion on the site itself when it is obvious, but let's start here. And all others who have called for what such a site should contain, welcome to comment! This should be fun!
kommentarer… läs dem nedan eller lägg till en } (13 comments ... read them below or add one )
Good! This will get very good and interesting and useful.
My suggestion is that we have as much material as possible autoaggregerat. Twitter, Twingly, flickr, etc., etc.. All the services are relatively easy to set up and it is also quite fast.
However, I think it also needed a manual selection of specific articles / blog posts and twitter additional thought-provoking messages, etc.. And of course it needed help and good people.
How do you think about the presentation? The feeling is that it can easily become unmanageable. To just throw up a lot of inflows will probably be difficult to manage = side loses a little its points. At the same time, plans are quite having the most. Difficult balancing act.
Thoughts?
Is totally convinced that it will be very good anyway. Peppa!
Proposed that I take, together with Malmö gang, on me the responsibility for installation and a design that we can build on. With input from all who would, of course. Sound good?
More on everything tomorrow, goodnight.
Donald: Yes, autoaggregerat material is probably a good starting point. Is it possible to screen in such lists, so that you can manually remove materials that have only marginal access to the book fair? Twitter stream for # Book Fair may well be that it is - it is the charm of it - but RSS feeds can easily be incalculable if you carry anything that contains the word "book fair".
But maybe it is possible to balance the chaotic flows with someone / some (not at the fair, and thus keep them from it) offers tips on the best that down - as you say.
We should also get the embedded movie clips, as far as it goes. Of course I thought about publishing some sound clips during the fair for Piratförlaget site and of course they can easily double posted.
Great that you take care of the basic design.
Links to Youtube interviews with authors from the book fair would be fun! "Amateur footage" might send the links to the blog hosts?
It can be spontaneous interviews were done by authors such as friend / mother / boyfriend, etc..
And ditto with book publishers such as ang book's future. Movies from the "floor" simply! Image and light quality is not so important in these kinds of cases, I think.
Both Swedish and Bookstore Bokhora.se usually have solid reporting from the book fair - and I have for me to Bokhora breaks out in a separate flow. We should be able to run for their RSS headlines during bokmässedagarna. It's not supposed to re-publish their texts, but just bear the title that links to their articles / posts.
Is it more blogs or anything else that will be of great reporting from the show?
Good initiative! Allows you to pick up RSS. We gladly send feeds with schedules of seminars and so on. Embedded videos are great. Everything that goes parallel to publish simply. Guessing that there will be a lot of interesting blogs that you could feed in to the site.

Mattias, we will have a variety of RSS feeds from the exhibition, both in blogs and in the flow diagrams, etc.. Clock Fair to RSS headlines with the arrangement with you and then the contents of each site. alltombokmassan.se becomes like a hub simply.
/ Klas, Norstedts
We will be on pocketblogg.se all there and with the aim of reporting directly from the fair so we can contribute with content. We had planned to try to run a bit Bambuser mm.
Super for another who did not come to the book fair this year!
Klas: Excellent that you are on the train! It can really become well with mtrl to this collection site. To an outsider it's quite time consuming to find everything that is reported from the fair, so this site can really play a role.
Beatrice: I do not have much experience Bambuser, but of course it goes well to embed the site?
Then of course we should have some flyers to distribute at the fair, if only to materials we are producing people run into.
Mattias:
Bambuser's easy to embed. Works fine in both live and then afterwards to play.

I will be busy part of the fair but still expect to be blogging and twittra a lot, and possibly catch some interviews author.
My Text Book Fair for dummies maybe places?
http://www.enannansida.se/bok/2009/09/bokmassan-for-dummies-40.html
here we go!
http://www.alltombokmassan.se/
As Beatrice said, we will at PocketBlogg.se twittra and blogging from the massive book fair. We (we is eight people) is also planning to run Bambuser and probably live broadcasts of some workshops as well, all in cooperation with the Book Fair itself. We are happy to feed on our alltombokmassan.se too!
