Wham, Slam, thank you m'ams

I thought Josie Fraser, Helen Keegan and Frances Bell caught the mood of the ALT-C conference today with their excellent workshop this morning entitled: 'Web 2.0 Slam'. In it they worked through a number of salient issues about the use of social networking technologies, including privacy, identity, communication and copyright. (That's me pictured with Helen doing a Web 2.0 Slam on social tagging using bits of crumpled up paper ... yes it really was that mad). The audience was encouraged to participate, and each small group was asked to create a 90 second 'slam', about some aspect of Web 2.0.

The wiki resulting from this session can be found
here on Helen's blog. Thanks for an excellent, well worked and thought ptovoking session ladies!

We all really enjoyed the session - it was brilliant to see everybody participating (and so early in the day!) - thanks for being our Chair, Steve!

Hi Steve - & thanks for the lovely post! We had a fantastic morning and I really enjoyed my social network search dating sevice slam - I'd now like my own teevee show.

Steve,

I agree it was really stimulating session and certainly got people talking to their neighbours.

But glad it wasn't 90 minute slams as mentioned in your post, but 90 seconds. I think we'd still be there otherwise!
