Web Based Communities 2005
- Wordpress category:
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).

Hello mysterious aunty! It
Hello mysterious aunty!
It felt like 24 courses even though it was only eight. But it was excellent and great value...
O Charneco, Estombar €
One of the best places to sample authentic Algarvean cooking in a setting that is delightfully rustic with jovial ambience, the restaurant is in the centre of Estombar near the church. Larger-than-life proprietor Joaquim Charneco and wife Marta have won numerous culinary awards for their efforts and the restaurant is a real favourite among locals and visitors alike.
O Charneco
A typical small "Tasca" restaurant where you sit on benches and consume Portuguese cuisine by past award winning chef. Serves a set dinner. No Credit Cards and closed on Sundays.
What about the 24 course
What about the 24 course meal you had? ~Grin~
