I think the issue is that we're in a transition phase and not everyone sees Twitter as a valid news medium... but that's changing quickly. The more good information we put out via Twitter, the more people will come to appreciate and expect real time info! Hi Katie-

I do live tweet at events because I know people are interested in learning more about the topic. Social media is live and happening now, so it sometimes doesn't make sense to tweet a lot later when the event has already passed... the excitement is sometimes gone. I'll usually tweet little bits, but not too much because I also like to be in the present moment and listen to what is being said by people who are actually in the room!

I like today's 1st-person approach with the 2-or-more-way network-type interaction that the new social media allows, but I too find myself wondering how much information is too much information.We seem to be in a sort of communicational transition phase, and it will be interesting to see where it leads!

Especially the younger ones. Press events, dinners, personal consumption. All with pictures. I think I know every detail of their wine soaked lives. And perhaps oddly, I actually find it interesting. But I do on occasion think about the situation they're in and wonder how other people react to pics and pecs.

If a person feels that they are distracting the speaker, they can always step to the side of the room. For smaller events, such as dinners and small group tours, I think courtesy trumps tweeting. In such cases, I would let others know what I was up to just ask them if they minded. I will often excuse myself and go to the restroom to check email, so I suppose that might be an option if the other guests did not approve at tweeting in a small group.

You're right- respect is the key word in all of this ... Respect for those who have gone to great pains to put the presentation (or tasting or other event) together, but also respect for others attending, which is why I draw the line at talking on the phone--talking in general disturbs others... How many times have I been unable to hear because someone was talking on the phone, or worse yet chatting... It all boils down to just common courtesy for others... even if you aren't interested, it doesn't take a lot of effort to just be quiet for a little while... but now I'm getting off on another tangent!

I agree with all the comments here. I think it is aproppiate to tweet during a presentation if we do it with respect for those who worked hard to prepare the event. Same thing goes for taking notes, asking questions, talking on the phone, taking pictures, etc. In order to do our job we should always be polite and respect the others.

I LOVE the carrier pigeon idea! REAL tweets! You'll have to reserve the smoke signals for Colchagua though- no open fires allowed in Santiago! @Matt You’re a genius!! I LOVE the carrier pigeon idea!
