2. Twitter – no, the fail whale appears too often and at just the wrong moment. Twitter’s bugs are unfixable and its admins don’t talk to us. I’d still use twitter, but drive it from identi.ca or another OMB site.

3. Ning – I still don’t like it, but I don’t have a ready-to-use replacement yet. Suggestions?

4. Some kind of aggregator – Pageflakes and Netvibes don’t work from many phones, which sucks. Widgets and maybe FeedWordpress on the event WordPress site seems an obvious choice for me.

5. Streaming video – I don’t get involved with it much either, but video.debian.org is still the gold standard of conference video. Ustream and Mogulus still suck for accessibility.

6. Other video and photos – Blip.tv and YouTube are the best of a bad bunch right now. All photo sites seem to suck still: I resort to uploading to Facebook public albums still, but it disappoints me.

7. Live blogging – I think that blogging using WordPress is fine. Coveritlive is OK, but it’s another thing that doesn’t work well with phones – microblogging, jabber or online chat are better live feedback channels.

8. Huddle – I tend to use my co-op’s list, conference and ticket systems for organisation. I doubt Huddle interoperates well with them, but I’ve not tried it.

I like BaseCamp a lot, it works really well for me. I don’t share access with colleagues right now, it’s more so I can keep on top of projects. If my team expands I’ll probably get them involved though.

We use Yammer but not in a coordinated manner, it’s mostly chatter between the dozen or so people here who have signed up for it and realised there are others on there! (Though we’re using an email domain from a govt organisation with thousands of employees all over the country, i’m surprised we’ve not had more random people from other departments, so far it’s been mostly members of the Choices team).
