I like your perspective on your presentation- where many would not look at that as a positive thing- that those you presented to might know more in some areas. The mind-set of a true learner!

If I got discouraged every time someone knew more than me, I would indeed be a very miserable person. :) I do like to use every teaching/presenting experience equally as a chance to learn. I think it makes it more fun that way. And one of the technologies presented by Martin Eppler at this conference (Infocus - www.lets-focus.com) I think invites that kind of collaborative sharing and learning environment and mindset (at least more than something like the frequently mind-numbing PowerPoint presentations which I think all of us have had to endure at times).

I expected to learn about cool new collaboration technology. But it's neat to hear about your own methods of collaboration. I need to understand the technology behind that sort of chance encounter so that I can get a few of my own. I sometimes meet people I know in the airport... Huh.

Yes, a technology for chance encounters...hmmm... I was going to recommend an online dating service, but you are already married. :) Seriously though, I have been surprised how many friends from a long time ago I am now reconnecting to via FaceBook. I just connected this week with two of my best friends from grade school that I don't think I have heard from since we graduated! The other thing that I find strange is that friends from so many places, time periods, and social groups are all kind of merged together in the same place. It was kind of strange at first, but I am slowly getting used to it now. Are you on FaceBook yet? Ha! Yes, a technology for chance encounters…hmmm…

I guess I have a LinkedIn profile, but I've mostly used blogs to keep track of friends and hunt down new ones. I guess it's not as efficient though, but it lets me pretend I have a little more control over the process. I haven’t yet ventured to try out Facebook.

"let´s focus ist ein praxisnahes, die verschiedenen Prozesse bei Sitzungen und Workshops sehr gut unterstützendes Tool." (Let's focus is a something something, the something something and work shops very good tool of some sort) I don't know. Maybe it's about the same. =o) No offense, but I think I get more out of mind-numbing power points than…
