Web Directions South 2007 » Blog Archive » Web Directions on the internets

Anyone who has been to one of our conferences will probably know we really try to integrate the online and offline, though blogging, flickr photos, t-shirts and so on. In the last year or so, there has been an explosion in the use of services like Upcoming, and social networking apps like Facebook, all of which provide interesting ways of connecting people.

Right now you can find Web Directions South online at Upcoming, so if you have a (totally free) account, you can head on over, and say whether you are watching or attending WDS07, and if you’ve not used upcoming before, take a look - it’s a great way of finding out about events that might interest you, or getting the word out about an event you are organising.

Cheryl Lead, speaker at last years conference and all round Aussie web dynamo (she’s just started her own web consultancy design agency, so check them out) has set up a Facebook group for those attending or interested in the conference. So, if you have a Facebook account, head over to the Web Direction South group and join up.

Meanwhile, if you’ve got a blog (you don’t have a blog - well, head over to Wordpress.com or Blogger for your free blog) and start one. And then, if you blog about Web Directions South, use the tag WDS07. To do that, just add the following link to your blog posts

<a href="http://technorati.com/tag/wds07" rel="tag">WDS07</a>

Then you can keep track of blog posts about the conference at Technorati no matter where they appear.

Meanwhile you can keep track of photos at Flickr related to Web Directions by searching for the tag “WDS07″ or visiting here, and see the thousand or so photos taken at our conferences so far

To have your photos show up, just tag your photos on Flickr with WDS07.

We’ve also got a fun little app which will be live in the next day or so along these lines. Stay tuned.
