       Why does it work?
       •The right crowdsourcing incentives
       •Wiki-style shared ownership
       •The parts support the whole
       •Twitter!

       Why Twitter?
       •It’s where the event discussion happens
       •Speakers promote their Twitter accounts
       •Follow beats Friend for recommendations
       •Culturally amenable to public profiles

       Twitter as an Identity Platform

       •Make assertions about any Twitter user
       •Create profiles to be claimed later
       •Instant personalisation
       •Naturally viral
