So many things about wearable tech, self tracking, and the Quantified Self! So we started to put everything we read into a Flipboard Magazine to share with everyone.

Looking forward to your comments!

The Quantified Self Europe Conference 2014 had shown some activity on Twitter, as expected. 156 different people twittered using the #qseu14 tag. Nevertheless the absolute number of #qseu14-tweets slightly declined to ~1100 in 2014 from ~1700 in 2013.
The Twitter-activity, again hardly surprising, was higher on Saturday:

A nice hint on the socializing quality of the event gives the proportion of tweets sent as replies, which was higher on Sunday; maybe thus showing the more personal conversations. The connections between the conference are shown in this network graph:

Two twitterers are clearly standing out: Number one again is Whitney Erin Boesel (@weboesel) with 196 tweets, almost reaching her last year’s count of 221 (then twittering under the nick of @phenatypical); number two is me (@jbenno) with 133 tweets, which means I have more than doubled, even if I had been the second highest scoring participant then, too.

Twitter leaderboard for the #qs14 conference: Nr. 1 is Whitney Erin Boesel closely followed by myself. The colors reflect the percentage of people that had been included in the tweet as an reply.
Here’s an easy overview of the most common words with stopwords removed:

I will post thoughts and impressions that I took home from #qseu14 soon, too.
