Quick comment/suggestion. In addition those pull quotes and signposts you suggest for the slides, I wonder if using something like FutureTweets (if I remember the site correctly) would be helpful. A presenter can roughly estimate her presentation time and schedule a series of tweets to be released as their talk unfolds.. That way, the presenter has some influence as to how the twitter conversation on the presentation evolves. It wouldn’t take that much effort and the results could be quite good.

I like that 🙂
One of the first things I thought, too, when I saw Robin Sloan’s “tap essay” was that I could use the embedded twitter function of it to tweet during my own conference presentations.
