Until then, I hope you’ll forgive me if I don’t seem as present as usual. Still, when it comes to the important stuff, none of that nonsense matters. Soon, my time will be my own again. I’ve got more important things to do right now. Note to Mom (who sometimes reads my blog): Hi there!

In addition to all of the presentations and workshops, one of the many wonderful aspects of the recent LeWeb conference in Paris is the opportunity to connect with others who are working on innovative projects and developing new applications which make our lives easier or more productive.

Your presentation was wonderful – exceptionally well presented, easy to follow and filled with rich content! Reply Amy Bleser says: January 4, 2009 at 8:04 pm Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing your knowledge and expertise about Twitter today.

Presentations are halted and rescheduled due to “tech problems.&# (We may rule the internet, but wifi connections, not so much.) Nametags are awkwardly enormous as they include name, company, website and Twitter @username. Hint: When the nametag impairs my ability to sit comfortably, it may just a tad too large.)

Still, I couldn’t get out of my head the fact that I did want to hear the content presented and meet others in attendance. While I very much appreciate some members of the Almost Savvy community being willing to cut me some slack and support me in publishing a promotional post, I’m sticking by my decision not to do it.

Maybe the content isn’t what you expected or you’ve got presenters, who may be good at many things, but presenting isn’t one of them. Even armed with a plan, you’ll find yourself in some sessions that don’t meet your expectations.

Not long ago, Facebook removed the ability to hide one’s friends, explaining that allowing users to keep this information private presented an obstacle to the overriding benefit of public sharing – to help users discover friends and news they otherwise might not have seen.

Technology is a thing of the present. &# Monica Diaz says: June 29, 2009 at 10:06 am Irene, I love your take on this, as I also like some of the music my kids have shared and vice versa. Many baby boomers fear it will define us and want nothing to do with the new developments (and cling on to old time favorites).

Some people are already using ad-blocking applications to get rid of this. I pretty much ignore them. What if that space could be used to display all sorts of useful information about the sender of that email?

The presentation was well received and the requests for me to speak and coach others began to pour in. It wasn’t an intentional shift, it naturally evolved over time. A friend, who knew of my growing interest and skills, invited me to speak to a local organization and share some tips.

How to present that offline? I usually put a sticker at the back of my cards my links to whatever I’m presenting and my social networks information. You are much more than your position/title/employer. You are so right that having yet another way to easily connect with others is an excellent tool.

This often adds the burden of unnecessary emails and phone calls to the work the speaker is already doing to prepare the presentation itself. How much time is alloted for the presentation and follow-up Q & A? How will you promote the presenter(s)? Let’s be real. A high-level overview of the opportunities, possibly.

I’ve been an avid user of LinkedIn and Facebook since attending your presentation at the Chamber of Commerce, and have since gotten to know you has a friend. (I will probably never use Twitter, but it’s fun to hear about it, and how others are using it.) Thanks for helping make social media unscary, and for your friendship!

I understand the business model and opportunities LBS (location based services) present and will even check-in once in while on Foursquare myself. Maybe people should go after the diet pill spammers instead of wasting time against foursquare and gowalla. My two cents. I rarely, though, publish those updates to my other networks.

In my experience, many of the people I’ve met online, whether I’ve subsequently met them in person or not, have turned out to be some of my closest friends and best professional contacts – including my present partner.
