    Social Reporting IGF2010 - Vilnius, Lithuania

    Visit http://igf2010.diplointernetgovernance.org to join in.

    The Internet Governance Forum isnʼt just taking place inside this conference centre:
    itʼs also taking place across the world and across the Internet through remote
    participation and through informal social media networks. During the 2009 IGF in
    Sharm El Sheikh over 5000 Twitter messages were sent, 100s of blog posts were written,
    and many video clips were recorded and published online.

    This year, many people will be using social media to follow and report on IGF. The main
    objective of our efforts is to widen participation from ACP countries. Here are three ways
    weʼre exploring the use of social media at IGF 2010. We invite you to join in and help
    us explore how social media adds to the IGF experience.

    1)Listening
    Using tools like TweetDeck (www.tweetdeck.com) on a mobile phone, and our social
    media aggregator at http://igf2010.diplointernetgovernance.org weʼre tracking social media
    conversations about IGF sessions and issues. You can use Twitter search to see what
    other people in your session might be saying, or to find out how a key issue is being
    discussed outside the conference centre.

    2) Sharing: Twitter, blogging Tag-it


    and video clips Tagging the content you share helps viewers to
    Many social reporters at IGF10 will be make sense of what it is about. Most social
    using Twitter to share short updates media tools have a tagging option, or you can
    on sessions or to engage in use hash-tags which simply involve including
    discussions about topics of interest. #tagname in your message.
    You can sign up to Twitter in minutes
    at http://www.twitter.com use it from For example, if you are sending a tweet about

    your laptop or mobile phone. Workshop 69 you would include ʻ#igf10 #ws69ʼ
    in your message to share that your message is
    The www.diplointernetgovernance.org about the IGF, and about Workshop 69.
    website provides space for anyone to
    blog longer reflections on Internet Anyone searching Twitter could then search for
    governance issues. Social reporters ʻ#igf10 #ws69ʼ to find more messages about
    can also record short video clips and that specific workshop.
    interviews to communicate to a wider
    audience about key IGF topics. Suggested tags for each workshop can be
    found at http://
    3) Connecting & discussing
    Weʼre exploring how social media can
    be part of the IGF conversation. Are
    E.g
    you able to join the conversation by
    replying to Twitter messages, posting
    comments on social media content, or reading what others have said and bringing their
    ideas into the face-to-face discussions in Vilnius?
    Suggested tag patterns: Workshops: #ws + Workshop Number (e.g. #ws120); Regional Networks: #rn +
    session number (E.g. #rn1); Dynamic Coalitions: #dc + session number. Plenary: see website.
