For a running commentary from the point of view of an average (albeit technologically skilled) person attending the AERA convention this week, you can go to the Twitter search page and follow the keyword AERA.
As an alternative, check the Wiki where the sidebar streams (a limited number of) live text messages.
If you have a twitter account, you can follow @AERAtweetup, as 155 already do, or you can just follow the hashtag #AERA.
Sample recent comments cover session contents, the quality of facilities, recommended places to eat:
