Want to read a review of the "Translator as Strategic Partner" conference? Philippa Hammond has kindly written an in-depth review on her Blogging Translator blog.

And Philippa was not the only translator at the conference to post live reports on Twitter. There were two or three of us posting ... what? Twits? Tweets? Here are my tweets from the translator conference.

In years gone by, we had to wait weeks to read a review of conferences like this in specialist translation journals or trade magazines. Now we can read people's personal impressions of a conference within a few days. And with Twitter, for example, we can even follow a conference live, as it happens. It never fails to amaze me how technology can have a positive impact on our lives.
