Just returned yesterday from the WBC 2005 conference, and enjoyed it overall. On Wednesday, I gave a talk on SIOC, our work on interlinking online communities. Realised that a person’s choice of avatar can also be used to connect people, if the avatars are categorised by topic. I also chaired a session on Friday entitled “Group Processes and Self-Organisation: Social Networks, Tribal- and Open Communities” which had a good mixture of technical and conceptual talks.
Met some interesting people too, including Nick Flor (creator of YesNoMaybe.com, the #1 teen advice community), Tanguy Coenen, Jon Dron (CoFIND), and Alex Schröder (Oddmuse).
What about the 24 course meal you had? ~Grin~
Hello mysterious aunty!
It felt like 24 courses even though it was only eight. But it was excellent and great value…
