I think it's much better than wompt.com for following conferences and things like that.
But I guess wompt is a chat widget, not useful for this.
FWIW It was a pretty spontaneous creation. I'm attending the conference and being a regular user/visitor/lurker/fan of wompt, created a room and mentioned it to dan and he took the ball and ran with it. Which is a pretty appropriate experiment for a Lean conference methinks :P
It's great they move so fast; but it doesn't mean the results are polished ;)
A twitter feed has just been added so you can see all the conversation happening about sllconf
thanks for adding that! Now I can see everything in one place.
