As usual, the HCIL Symposium has provided a series of really interesting research projects with engaging presentations and a very warm, welcoming vibe. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
There are many things I saw today that I am going to take away and see if I could apply them to my work. List comparison, pair comparison, event flow alignment are always interesting to ponder as I’ve worked in a variety of information spaces with visualization and dashboards. The other stuff, while it may not be as directly and immediately applicable, gets my creative and thinking juices flowing. Good things will come of this.
I’m taking notes differently this time. I used to take handwritten notes and process them a bit more while I posted them later. I don’t have time for that anymore, so doing it live was my option. I also added the Instagram vector. What I found difficult was using Twitter hashtags consistently across three different streams: my site (a blog), Instagram, and Twitter. I cross post to Twitter from both my site and Instagram, and I sometimes forgot the hashtag, sometimes misspelled it, and the 140 character limit really is a problem with long research presentation names. I had to mangle my blog post names to ensure the hashtag would appear on Twitter.
Hey Jim – Have you tried Evernote? I use that all the time on my iPad while at conferences and workshops. ~Lynn
Hi Lynn… Yes, I’m an Evernote user, but I haven’t integrated it into my workflow yet. I’m actually quite happy with WordPress for it’s post entry. I write this stuff up to share immediately. Does evernote do cross-posting with hashtags?
