We microblog demos and strikes always, but not as much when it comes to lectures. I think it’s a good idea to encourage the audience to live-microblog events, if no wireless or laptops are available, using their mobile phones.

We can tweet or Jaiku quotes from the talks or debates we are attending, say, every five minutes, to update and share the event with a much bigger audience on the net.

So keep tweeting and Jaikuing ya shabab, but please make sure your mobile phones are on silent mode…
