While the variety of Web 2.0 services you’ll be using for your event will have different configurations and behave in a variety of different ways, finding information across these media entities can be simplified by using a singular tag name. Choosing a singular tag name and publicizing it at the event with signage, messaging, and announcements is the best way to connect all the content people will be creating across all the enabled Web 2.0 services.
Choose an unusual tag name. Something like BlogConferenceSF2007, which includes the event’s date, might work. You’ll need to pick a name with no spaces as many Web 2.0 applications don’t accept spaces in tag names. It’s not a bad idea to use that name also as your username with all the various services.
Also, when you or anyone else is blogging about the event, ask them to mention this tag name in the title of any blog post. Having one tag name for all accounts, blog entries, and posted media will make it easy for you and others to search and find all content related to the event.
