This year the CLC is incorporating twitter into the conference. From John Hall:

Here’s the new part. If you have a question you’d like to ask one of the speakers, we’d like you to do just that by tweeting it to @texashope2010. Kaitlin will conduct follow-up interviews with speakers and the questions she asks will come straight from you! Find out what you want to know from the comfort of your own computer.
