Not sure how the Twitter handle on a name badge would help if that person is standing several metres away presenting their talk and you want to tweet it. Presenters announcing their handle or displaying it on each slide, or prescheduling tweets to go out as they talk would be very helpful!

Dear Ms Gas, Many people at meetings need every encouragement to communicate and will not bother to search.

I just came from a meeting of internet researchers which did
not give either e-addresses or twitter handles on badges or on the list of researchers. Oi vey
ironic comment? given any of name / email / twitter, the other two is trivial to find using a search engine, no? i guess if you find someone interesting and pay attention than you can work out at least one of those during the conference. too hard?
