presentation

Well, we got through out presentation, despite shaking on my part and speaking too fast :-) . Also, our slides were a little too dark on the screen, so we have included them here as requested. Also, this is the handout that we gave out before the presentation.

It was a great experience though, and one that I look forward to repeating. I have made great contacts here, and was able to connect face to face with Bloggers that I have only read and admired from afar.

One thing that I noticed from the panel position was how well people seem to be able to multitask! I saw people live-blogging, using web cameras, listening to ear phones, and even received an Orkut invitation during our presentation. This makes me wonder…I have often heard that the laptop separates people, that we can not communicate as effectively as we do face to face at conferences, but I wonder if it is not just a matter of practice… those who can multitask seem better at communication than many I have spoken with F2F. I do not believe that the laptop is a barrier, but a facilitator. (this could have been longer, but I want to listen to the presentation now!)
