Andy's cogitations are always worth hearing about. In this case. as belw, it is a reminder that we should all be very careful about the subject line we use. For instance, I have chosen to continue the subject line "Yale Global Flow..." even though the thread has morfed a long way from the origin

Re: [DDN] Yale "Global Flow of Information" Conference - Apr.1-3, 2005

I agree with defining the functionality. But I would rather define the funtionality without talking about the technologies first. People have a tendency to skew a design by their requirements, and in doing so they leave a lot out. If a person asked me for a vehicle with four doors, I would automat

A piece of theory might be useful in thinking about "conferences" online. The time-space geographers and sociologists are teaching us that space and spatial configurations aren't merely containers that hold the events that go on within them, but are "constitutive": that is, they shape, or constitu

John has hit the nail on the head. First, for a "global flow" conference its decidedly being seen through US eyes. Secondly, the home base for the conference organizers is the Yale Law School which further narrows the scope of the conference and finally, as John has so perceptively picked up o
