Social Software for Meetings: Wellknown.as

Event social networking is one of those ideas that makes intuitive sense, as people go to events and meetings to meet people and learn things. I think many of us have not used such platforms so much in the past because of the overhead of notifying people that a tool is available, and then getting the issue of access (client distribution or just access) on mobile devices, with all that implies for ease of use.

Wellknown.as seems to be offering an application that answers the ease of use, notification and client issues. It works on iPhones, Android devices and BlackBerry. That would seem to cover the vast majority of users who go to the meetings I find I'm at. It is integrated with Eventbrite, so if you are using Eventbrite for ticketing it is pretty easy to set up.

People might prefer Twitter or other tools, of course. From an attendee standpoint, what's your preferred social mode?
