I think *real* publicity will be gained by people posting/blogging<br>
about the event.</blockquote><div><br> You got it wrong. A twitter bot is not for publicity. It is for actual instant<br> updates of any conference events/decisions to those interested.<br><br> For example, we can update important dates/any conference website<br>
updates to subscribers. For example, when we start accepting <br> talk proposals, we can tweet it.<br><br> Twitter is popular among web developers and folks who are up2date<br> with technology, so this will be very useful. <br>
<br> I know someone will say RSS feeds, but there is no doubt that<br> tweets are much more instantaneous than RSS feeds. <br> <br> Let me try it. If it turns out to be too much of a headache, we can always<br> drop it.<br>
