Conference blogging and microblogging etiquette

There has been some discussion about the etiquette of blogging and microblogging (twittering) during conference sessions at the recent ACEC2008 conference, it is useful to seek a wider perspective on the thoughts of educators about this issue as it is likely to arise more often at conferences and the etiquette is unclear. What is your feeling on the undirected use of laptops, mobile phones, etc. during conference presentations to communicate between audience members and others about presentations? Please note that while responses will not be attributable, they will be public. Feel free to distribute this survey to other networks in order to gather the most representative view of educators on this issue.
