  • Tried+failed to wake in time for 1st session @SexTech. Feel like zombie…will wander in late looking for coffee. #WhyAreConsSoEarly #SexTech #
  • ♺ @helio_girl: #Youth @SexTech share where they learn abt #sex Classroom not a focus. THAT is SexEdEverywhere: http://j.mp/seeiwhc #SexTech #
  • @support Something screwy: with 2 accts open in diff browser if I post from Acct A, Acct B receives+repeats it automatically! WTF? #Identica #
  • Made it to a packed room halfway thru "Sex Ed and #Tech quot; session @SexTech. Fueled by coffee & bagels, I'm feeling a bit more human. #SexTech #
  • Helping youth "develop sexual autonomy" critical; eg teaching abt capability for pleasure increases contraceptive use/cc @HiOhMegan #SexTech #
  • Awesome example of #sexual #health PSA on #YouTube http://youtube.com/watch?v=rPeaJBWXijo "Protect yourself" is message to #youth #SexTech #
  • 2min #video on #sexting http://youtube.com/watch?v=-e5WQr8BU7Y in which one video links to another for multiple-choice Q&A. Clever! #SexTech #
  • #Menstruation #animation http://youtube.com/watch?v=pQ4QOQdnifk very FAST way to get the point across to #youth on #sexual #health. #SexTech #
  • LOVED "New Direction in Sex Ed & Technology"! Exercise: we story-boarded 2min Youtube video! TOTALLY useful for http://j.mp/seeiwhc #SexTech #
  • @thesexademic I thought anyone born after 1980 is a "Gen Y" OR Millenial. I'm 1984: We're the uber-special Orwellian Generation. :) #SexTech in reply to thesexademic #
  • Today's #SexTech keynote, @mblinder gives #social #media advice. Basics: do 1 thing well, cross-promote. Speaking of: check out @KinkForAll! #
  • ♺ @KinkForAll #KFASF is CONFIRMED for Mar 21 at Women's Building! WomensBuilding.org Pls RT, sign up & donate if you can: http://tr.im/kfasf #
  • #Social #media in 6 words: "Right People, Right Message, Right Message," @mblinder says at #SexTech Like all marketing plus engagement, no? #
  • "Consciousness of who you are coming thru in an authentic way." Bizspeak translation: headline all your honest content. Be BOLD. ;) #SexTech #
  • My own social media tip: ALWAYS include call to action, implicit or not, when on promotion campaign. AWALYS. SA: http://ur1.ca/nscw #SexTech #
  • Dur #social #media in 6 words update http://ur1.ca/nsd2 should've read: "Right People, Right Message, Right Resources." #NeedCoffee #SexTech #
  • "Social media is like teen sex. Every1 wants to do it but no 1 knows how & when it's done they're disappointed." Why? @Kanter asks. #SexTech #
  • "Fondling the hammer. Does anyone1 know what that is?" THE HAMMER IS MY PENIS. (Say hi to viral marketing—I'm Joss Whedon's bitch.) #SexTech #
  • Great point: "There's nothing wrong w/selective strategy." Start slowly+incrementally, w/1 site (Twitter, your own blog, whatever.) #SexTech #
  • Change the culture inside of organization to learn from failure, @Kanter urges. YES! We learn mistakes=failure in school. NOT TRUE. #SexTech #
  • Wow look at how many tweets @Kanter's speech is getting! Is it WRITTEN for that in mind? Short sentences+sound bytes=easy to tweet. #SexTech #
  • "I spend time tuning my network," @Kanter says. This means UNFOLLOW ppl too. Srsly, it's useful. I unfollow lot; it's not personal. #SexTech #
  • Another tip from me: When live blogging, don't just repeat, add own opinion to what you're posting. Like: "@Kanter's good speaker!" #SexTech #
  • Now @mrbobbyjones speaks on #youth #activism. Early point: "They used #tech of the day; whatever avail!" It's NOT abt tech but msg. #SexTech #
  • Social activism in America by #youth of this gen started w/ an election in 2000 they felt was stolen from them, @mrbobbyjones says. #SexTech #
  • @kanter You just changed how I write speeches like http://vimeo.com/9304697 and http://vimeo.com/7783159 for the better. Thanks! :) #SexTech in reply to kanter #
  • Food-pyramid-like slide of "#media consumption" is fantastic visual analogy, great use of slides w/o bullet points to make a point. #SexTech #
  • "Most impactful [social] movements have a combination of online & offline part." Yes. Rally+organize face-to-face, not just online. #SexTech #
  • To adults "You have greatest asset in history of social activation: #youth energy driven by social media." Nice phrase: activation. #SexTech #
  • Can contests bring big results? @rtw003 presents conceptual framework at #SexTech Make it an intellectual challenge: skill+time=innovation. #
  • "Your idea could start a movement," on @rtw003's slide means DON'T HOARD YOUR IDEA. Share. You don't win w/o execution even w/idea. #SexTech #
  • #KFASF has a venue for Mar 21 but needs ~$600 more funds to make it real! Sign up+donate at http://tr.im/kfasf Bring sex ed uncons NATIONAL. #
  • Important for #social #media: "Don't automate," @Kanter says during #SexTech panel Q&A. On that note, http://ur1.ca/my6u unlink your #feeds #
  • My proposal for IWHC is SexEdEverywhere, also a vid contest: http://j.mp/seeiwhc Prizes will only be $100, but why not start small? #SexTech #
  • Can't figure out what next #SexTech breakout session I wanna go to. MSM & Technology? I'm A…Student Peer Sex Educator? Gah! SO MUCH AWESOME. #
  • Chose to attend #SexTech "I'm A…Student Peer Sex Educator" panel since @vniow wants to go to the other one & will share notes w/me later. :) #
  • Former ISIS-inc.org intern, Natalie, tells us of how she single-handedly added comprehensive #sex #education at her high school. :) #SexTech #
  • How can students get involved? "Stress that #SEX IS SOMETHING PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN." Even if they don't agree, talk about THAT! #SexTech #
  • Ian O'Brien talks abt Sexland, a campus #sexual #health fair at Humboldt State U. It's rural but liberal. Good to know those exist. #SexTech #
  • "We want to expose people to non hetereosexual identity+let them explore their own identity." 'Exposure' is charged word but vital. #SexTech #
  • "There are more ways to express your #sexuality more than just who you're having sex with." Who you fuck is not the primary factor! #SexTech #
  • "It's not just abt sex," Ian says. "There's heavy focus on…all realms of life." So key! Not enough sex-related DE-sexualized space! #SexTech #
  • Both peer #sex educators have called out to their administrators LOTS. This's VERY important: #youth often disempowered w/o allies. #SexTech #
  • "We don't have a budget," Ian says of Sexland. Also how @KinkForAll works. #KFASF is MAR 21 but needs donations: http://tr.im/kfasf #SexTech #
  • @chocojo Yes, quite a number of references to gender identity, if not explicitly #transgender still lots about gender variance. :) #SexTech in reply to chocojo #
  • Q: "How do you support knowledge transfer in high-turnover env like college?" A: "Lot from academic dept directly." Not common IME. #SexTech #
  • Body image issue affects our sexual decision making, Mira Friedman says at #SexTech peer panel. Callback to need to develop sexual autonomy. #
  • Now, student peer #sex educators from, PASSHEN "Peers Advocating #Safety and Sexual #Health Now" speaking about educating freshmen. #SexTech #
  • "Our [sexual health+education] curriculum is completely made by the students. Students know what other students want to hear most." #SexTech #
  • Making curriculum ourselves "gives us lot of power to make decisions…it's factual+researched," based on questions frm other #youth #SexTech #
  • "We're not allowed to distribute condoms on campus so we stand on the other side of the street & give them out there." Ha! So COOL! #SexTech #
  • What do peer #sex educators get out doing this? "We get amazing sense of knowledge, public speaking #skills class credit and FUN." #SexTech #
  • "Best way to teach #students is thru other student; not telling them you need to do this or that. We get the whole class involved." #SexTech #
  • "With peers, it's easier for #youth to be open. #Sex is looked down on" by adult. YES! See Sexual Adultism http://vimeo.com/7783159 #SexTech #
  • "The most common symptom of having an #STI is having no symptom at all." peer #sex educators show us example of learning exercises. #SexTech #
  • "Don't just say myth or fact. We want explanation so #youth can see WHY." Good #sex #education based on same principle as other ed. #SexTech #
  • @forteller I'm listening to students from PASSHEN. They're in Berkley Uni I think? Amazing it's not okay to give out condoms there. #SexTech in reply to forteller #
  • After PASSHEN condom demo, audience member says: "I actually learned something & I'm 32. That was most informative demo I've seen!" #SexTech #
  • I. Love. This. Sign. :D ♺ @sarahdopp: Woah! #SexTech made their #bathrooms #gender #neutral today! Win! http://yfrog.com/auibtfj /via @vniow #
  • Along with #condoms #STI & other safer sex methodologies, there's program called TREAL that talks abt lust/love, etc. Link anyone? #SexTech #
  • Pass it on!♺ @KinkForAll #KFASF CONFIRMED but needs $600 in funds. Help bring #sexuality #unconferences national! Donate: http://ur1.ca/nsqe #
  • @csarven @evan @support Thx for your response. I've forced-reloaded, hasn't happened again (yet). Will keep you posted if it does. #Identica #
  • Key msg: "We're not advocating for #youth #sex we're just informing abt safety." Good point; how to de-politicize education/sex ed? #SexTech #
  • ♺ @SarahFrantz: @maymaym ANY info about sex to their mind is advocating for #sex Can't depoliticize; it's up to them not you, IMO. #SexTech #
  • Totally missed #SexTech lunch by talking to the awesome folks from Humboldt State Uni. Gonna grab some food & stay quiet for bit for a rest. #
  • Skipping #SexTech talk from academics as it exemplified everything I dislike re academia. Moving to I'm A Health Educator & Librarian panel. #
  • "If books are constantly missing or stolen, we know that's a key topic for ppl; maybe they don't want it on their #library record." #SexTech #
  • @crheinga MSM & Technology one. I appreciate the topic & feel personal connection but can't stand dry lectures w/bullet point slides. Sorry. in reply to crheinga #
  • A "school is really a microcosm of the broader community." Very true; this is why #education is at the heart of healthy #sexuality #SexTech #
  • "Even though you may not come into the #library here are some resources for you." A librarian is NOT a receptionist at a #library #SexTech #
  • "We don't give advice. As #librarians we know where to find info but not off top of our heads. Libraries are judgement-free zones." #SexTech #
  • #CIPA mandatory filtering for libraries, is REQUIRED to receive federal funding. Filter often too broad. BIG issue for librarians. #SexTech #
  • For more on libraries & #Internet #filters: http://infoandthelibrary.org. CHECK IT OUT. Crowdsourced research study by @audaciaray. #SexTech #
  • Libraries have a built-in audience. Useful for researchers, educators, and anyone else who wants to reach #youth esp. poorer kids. #SexTech #
  • Great point: Librarians are often neutral support unlike teachers who grade work & so forth. I avoided classroom teachers as a kid. #SexTech #
  • More information on #youth & #libraries http://ala.org/yalsa Speakers encourage you to cross-polinate/collaborate online—it's FREE. #SexTech #
  • GOOD POINT. ♺ DukeBrady: @JessieNYC Here's something they don't teach in #school "The #History Of #Censorship quot;. Now why is that? #education #
  • Joyce Libson of SWAP: http://bit.ly/98yn44 gov't program, but not self-hosted. No funding/expertise! #SexTech #
  • "It'll be another year b4 we can move it to own server. That may not sound like big deal to you in #tech but I assure you, it is." #SexTech #
  • "It's hard to constantly invite people to come to the site." I noticed lack of RSS on SWAP site. New tech reaches OUT, not back in. #SexTech #
  • Despite lack of tech savvy implementations, many gov't, community program sites PACKED with useful info. How can we help spread it? #SexTech #
  • 3 times in 3 diff sessions speakers mentioned "creating toolkits" for similar purposes. Are they all reinventing wheels? Might be…. #SexTech #
  • Lacking global #directory reinventing wheels is constant problem. #Tech community shares #infrastructure instead of rebuilding it. #SexTech #
  • What could #infrastructure to support sharing info about small gov't, library, school, #community center #resources w/eachother be? #SexTech #
  • "One of the ways we were able to [launch this site] was by avoiding the rigamaroll of government approval." :-O System need fixing! #SexTech #
  • If you find blocked site in #library lodge formal complaints! It's much better if YOU complain loudly than when librarians try. ;) #SexTech #
  • If library/local govt admins are not unblocking sites after you complain GO PUBLIC & pressure them with public awareness campaigns. #SexTech #
  • Super huge thx to @bigolpoofter for 1st $50 donation to #KFASF :D Get details about March 21st event in #SF & donate at: http://tr.im/kfasf #
  • Librarians don't know what's blocked; can't see local blacklist or check all sites. HELP YOUR LIBRARY: http://infoandthelibrary.org #SexTech #
  • Last #SexTech breakout session I chose to go to is "I'm A… #Gender Studies Researcher" being run by Catherine Ashcraft from http://NCWIT.org #
  • Beginning w/multiple-choice question and waiting for everyone in the room to answer is cute but seems like it wasted a lot of time. #SexTech #
  • Classroom style still "cute," but I'm frustrated. Why go over all this? Just say women's participation in CS is down & get on w/it. #SexTech #
  • Okay, I'm sorry, but this #SexTech session is so painfully slow, I'm just gonna ditch it. This is exactly why I dropped out of school. Augh. #
  • WOW! #KFASF raised $250 in 1 day w/about 3 tweets! Live example of social media at work, #SexTech Info: http://tr.im/kfasf /via @KinkForAll #
  • Diving into @KinkForAll work for remainder of #SexTech breakouts. I'm sure I'm missing something good but I can't find it & I've work to do. #
  • More info on Megan Andelloux (@HiOhMegan) and Center for Sexual Pleasure & Health (@TheCSPH): http://ur1.ca/ntg4 http://ur1.ca/ntg2 #SexTech #
  • Nicaragua abortion law prevent life-saving cancer treatment to pregnant woman. Uh…fetus dies if she dies! http://icio.us/2wtu4y ♺ @KinkOnTap #
  • Many sexual health programs help teen who want to stay abstinent deal w/peer pressure but religious right doesn't return the favor. #SexTech #
  • Backchannel an important part of conversation. Private+public, lot of option. Learn how to talk while ppl tweet: http://ur1.ca/ntj3 #SexTech #
  • #SexTech = AMAZING; so worth $175 I paid even tho content will be free online: http://SexTech.org THX: @DebISIS & all at http://ISIS-inc.org #
  • Excited to have spoke w/@BillTaverner re SexEdEverywhere at #SexTech & see more votes: http://j.mp/seeiwhc 1 click to help me win $1k grant! #
  • LOL! That's awesome. :) ♺ @helio_girl: College friends call @KinkOnTap mix of 4-Chan, South Park & Jon Stewart. What do you think, @maymaym? #
  • Home now, but so fucking exhausted after #SexTech I'll treat myself to take-out dinner. Missed my tweets? Full archive at http://ur1.ca/ntuo #
  • @veduncan I use an experimental feature of #Twitter Tools #plugin for @WordPress. Needs some baby sitting, tho. Get it at http://ur1.ca/ntx0 in reply to veduncan #
