The Story of Lift12

Here is the summary of Lift12 as seen through the tweets, posts and pictures of the participants (click on the image please)


Following #Lift12 on Twitter

An alternative and entertaining way to participate in the discussions at the Lift Conference was to follow the hash tag #Lift12 on Twitter. Over 430 of the participants were active on the micro-blogging service, sharing notes and anecdotes, pictures and quotes from the speakers on stage.

In total they sent 5450 tweets over the three-day conference with a spike in activity just before the opening session on day 1.

The most prolific tweep, not surprisingly, was Eva, tweeting for the organizers under @LIFTconference. She clocked up 640 tweets, announcing upcoming speakers on the livestream and re-tweeting the best tweets from other participants.

The most active tweeting participants were Olivier Mouroux @OMcoree (210), Honor Harger @HonorHarger (201), Kaitlyn Braybrooke @Kat_Braybrooke (159) and Estelle Metayer @Competia (139) reporting live the best quotes from each speaker.

Among all journalists and bloggers, 35 had twitter accounts, they produced only 460 tweets including Justin Pickard @justinpickard (131), live blogger Stephanie Booth @stephtara (68) and FT journalist Izabella Kaminska @IzaKaminska (22).

Participants were able to follow the Twitter activity live on a Twitter dashboard projected onto a large screen at the congress centre.

The Twitter activity was also captured daily with three infographics:

I loved LIFT. It was my digital Davos...


Kosovo In Your Pocket

Great to see Kosovo become independent - at least online - according to the presentation by Kushtrim Xhakli.
BTW If you ever go there is a great city guide to Pristina, Kosovo's capital: http://www.inyourpocket.com/kosovo/city/pristina.html
You can download the entire pdf guide free of charge here: http://www.inyourpocket.com/data/download/pristina-instant-guide.pdf
