We’ve been cranking away on new functionality at EventVue in the last weeks and we’re now ready to announce that it’s live! We’re really excited about the progress we’ve made here and the added value that we can now offer to conferences. Here’s what new at EventVue:

1. Twitter goodness. Twitter at conferences has been big. Really Big. We’ve seen what’s happened at SXSW (see the Sarah Lacy hoopla ), at Graphing Social Patterns, Defrag, and others. Twitter gets heavy use by attendees who want to find out who else is at the conference and share short commentary about the sessions they’re listening to. For conference organizers, Twitter is becoming a very powerful promotional tool to engage with attendees and build buzz around their events.

We’re now ready to take all this one major step forward. EventVue now brings all the conversation happening on twitter at a conference into one place inside EventVue. We make it possible to see what the other attendees are saying on Twitter at a conference.

This isn’t all though; we also publish this all back out to Twitter in a specialized twitter stream for each conference. Attendees can then follow the collective conversation any way they wish — on EventVue, by SMS at the conference, or using any of the many other Twitter clients.

2. Chatter. Want to know what attendees are talking about on the web before, during, and after a conference? We now find all the blog posts from the attendees and all the flickr pictures and youtube videos from the conference and aggregate them inside EventVue. Attendees are already writing on their blog about the content of the conference and uploading pictures and videos from their experience at the conference. We are now bringing all this together for attendees inside EventVue. We think this is a great way to uncover and participate in the conversation happening on the web around a conference.

3. Auto-discovery of where you are around the web. We’ve heard from many of our users that they would like it if we made it easier to fill out a profile in EventVue. We’ve listened and now with the help of some web magic, we discover stuff about you automatically like your blog, your LinkedIn profile, your Twitter account, and other sites around the web. It’s just one more way to make it easy to use EventVue. This is only the start — look for us to make it even easier in the near future as we do more and more cool stuff with various web APIs.

We’re very excited about this new functionality and can’t wait to see it in action at more and more conferences. Let us know what you think and if there’s some other really cool burning idea that you think we absolutely must do.
