Due to timezone and local network issues I didn't get to join in as much as I wanted but what I saw was really good. The format is really energizing - it feels very social in a way that lower bandwidth internet systems used to but that social media really doesn't, and has such a sense of event. Like with the Cyposium event, the parallel audience discussion doesn't feel like people talking behind you in the cinema. Rather it really adds to what's happening in the presentation window. - Rob. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
