My buddy Craig Cmehil has been tinkering with @eventtrack, adding in more features and generally making it a much better online application. It uses Twitter as the source for bringing people together to discuss whatever they choose. At heart, it creates a record of the conversations that occur between those who choose to come together.
It was particularly useful during the opening hours of the Microsoft-Yahoo bid slugfest as opinions were flowing at a fair clip. I was able to use it as a way of consolidating opinion about the likely reaction among Yahoo! users and to get some colour on what might happen to the engineering workforce.
From a professional perspective, it represents the perfect tool for events like the Budget, where you'd expect opinion and questions to be flying around the interwebs and from which you'd like to distill a consensus.
The illustration comes from a screenshot of the tag cloud generated by @eventtrack. The larger the name, the more they have contributed to the conversation.
