I am not usually the least cowed by technology, but I really didn't want to feel my way around something in front of a whole bunch of avid pros. I sort of wish I had dived in more, after watching the videos. I've been twittering to myself, which really is inane! I guess a technology that requires I invite my existing friends is a bit much for me. Getting more out of the materials online for a showcase than at a showcase was definitely a first for me.

For me, it was cool to meet people, like Simon Spero, I'd previously only emailed with. You don't know someone until you've met someone. But I can understand how it would feel a little "close." I think that inside-baseball people have a responsibility to be inclusive. It might make sense to have one session, "what the heck is this?" and another where we can trade in-jokes.
