This is what you might call a “mashup”. That is, it is an online service that works by collating information from a variety of other online services and presenting it in an single, simple interface.
Science fiction conventions are very well reported on these days. Convention attendees write reports on their blogs, and on web sites such as LiveJournal and Facebook. They upload photos. They may even tweet live from the convention. Modern smart phone hardware is starting to allow direct creation and uploading of YouTube video. The potential is endless.
But how do you find these reports? Hashtags are one solution; this is another. Very simple we ask people who are planning to cover a convention to register with us, and we make all of their their reports easily accessible in one place.
