After the event you can post even more and keep up with other attendees. We will put additional information about the event, topics and attendees.
11. Follow us on Twitter:  http://twitter.com/barcamptampa Post messages for all to see using either @barcamptampa or a hash tag (#) with #barcamptampa so everyone can see your posts. You may want to sign up for an RSS feed for the posts to barcamptampa so you can check it out afterwards. If you haven’t signed up for Twitter, please do so at http://twitter.com
12. There is also Twitter search (formerly Summize) so you can follow along using the Search function (at the bottom of your Twitter page) and search on either #barcamptampa or @barcamptampa. It’s a little extra work but well worth it and you will meet and be able to follow other Tweeters from BarCamp—a great way to build your network with people who share your interests in tech and New Media.
13. Grouptweet: We will be experimenting with another site for groups called Grouptweet. We have created an additional Twitter account for this event so that people can send a group Tweet to each other at the event. After you have signed up for Twitter, find and follow @barcamptampabay. You will be able to post a message to the group by using a Direct Message that will be distributed to the entire group following @barcamptampabay. To learn more about Grouptweet see: http://grouptweet.com
14. Hireme.TV will be at BarCamp to conduct optional short video interviews with job seekers. These interviews will then be available on their web site for hiring companies to see. If you are planning to conduct an interview, you might want to bring a dress shirt and jacket. You will be seen from the waist up in the interview. You can change clothes for the rest of BarCamp.
