Follow the Ag Media Summit online

I wish I was attending the Ag Media Summit this weekend in St. Paul, Minn. I've only been once, back in 2006, when the event was held in Portland, Ore.

Fortunately, technology will make it easier for those of us that couldn't make the trip to follow along from wherever we happen to be.

Look for the Twitter hashtag of #agms to see what people at the event are sharing, or follow @AgMediaSummit to find out more about the event.

The coolest thing though, is the planned video feed from some of the sessions on UStream. Also look for blog posts on the Ag Media Summit blog. You can also check in on the Facebook page.

It may not be quite the same as being there, but it's a lot better than waiting for a colleague to come back from the event who says, "Oh, man, the Ag Media Summit was great. There was so much great information there. You should have been there."

Now, we can be there, if not literally, at least we can virtually.
