The Twitter hashtag that’s emerged as the one for people to use when tweeting about Liberal Democrat conferences is #ldconf.

If you are following an event live, following a hashtag can be a great way of getting an extra feel for what people are thinking and doing. It’s a bit like the difference between watching a sports event with or without the colour and noise of the crowd.

However, if you’re wanting to look back and see how people reacted – for example, seeing which bits of a speech got the best or worst responses – Twitter’s archives can be rather clunky and limited, especially for events a few days old.

Therefore I’ve tried setting up an archive of all #ldconf tweets using Twapper Keeper. You can peruse the archive here.
