It felt like it wasn't very tightly chaired -- taking the questions in groups meant that they weren't all fully addressed and it felt to me like the discussion of education (and the fears about family disintegration) were rather a distraction from the real topic. I suppose I'm a little spoiled, being used to events where people really have their fingers on the pulse of what's happening in the social networking space, so it was a bit of a surprise to hear a few of the questions!

Fast typing! I think there were some god things to digest there. It was a shame a good debate didn't get going, since there was some serious brain power on the panel. I think it was a nice to hear the consensus that on-line media are generally helping to build face to face communities... Although we have a long way to go. We need our places to huddle - on-line and off-line. Wow! Fast typing! I think there were some god things to digest there.
