I've started attending meetings at which there's a projector up, and scrolling right along next to the person speaking is a screen with the tweets containing the hashtag for the meeting.
At first I found this kind of rude, but now I really enjoy it. I mean, your mind wanders when you are listening to a speech, and it might wander really far away if the topic was boring. This keeps you tuned in to the speaker, so it can help make the speech experience more rich.
Well, imagine if you are listening to a speech, and rather than just read some commentary about what's being said, and perhaps contribute 140 characters yourself, you could actually be part of creating something inspired by what's being said in the speech.
That's exactly what happened recently at a communications conference in Amsterdam. A speaker got up and on the projector he started a new wave within Google Wave.
From there, everyone got to edit that wave, and by the end of the "speech" they had a document they could go forward with.
There's a great write-up of the event here, complete with pictures.
