I was planning on live tweeting from @guadec, sort of what I did in A Coruña in 2012, and last year from my living room.
My take last year was to highlight some talks based mostly on context. I was keeping an eye on some keywords and trying to follow and respond to the conference's flow. I would stick to hand picked reminders, contextual retweets and then almost exclusively photos of sessions, booths, speakers, etc. Reality is built with images, so the more the better :-). If the offer sounds attractive, I'm available for doing this. Or happy to share insights with someone if I'm unable to attend this year (will known in 2 weeks, yikes).
