Our presentation at the Blogtalk Reloaded Conference in Vienna

We had a gas at the Blogtalk Reloaded conference in Vienna. Together with Ray Elferink, I presented a paper called "Developing an Open Architecture of Participation." Or I was supposed to. We certainly wrote the paper (watch this slot - out later this week - hones). And we sat down last Sunday to write a presentation.

Trouble was, we got carried away with form over substance. We wrote - and delivered - our old fantasy of the Ray and Gra show.

What fun. Music, dancing (yes I am not lying - dancing at a conference), multi media, live trialiing of - at best - beta software and much more. You can catch the atmosphere with this video.

However - in designing the show we lost sight of what we were sup [posed to be communicating. People came up afterwards to say how much they had enjoyed our presentation - and then to ask what we had been talking about. Well at least they noticed us.

More about the content in the next post.

Hi Graham, In enjoyed the presentation at BlogTalk. Also noticed that a lot of people seemed confused as to the message :) No matter, after talking to Raymond, I also spread the message to those still confused during dinner. One of my take-aways from your presentation was stressing the *activities* people can do together on a platform, and linking that to the 'social' in social software. To me until now social software means that it puts human relationships above the information that flows through them, and keeps those relationships visible at all times. Adding 'activities' to that is an angle worth exploring more. I also liked Bazaar in the sense that it allows you to do things (like the preferred future thing you demo-ed) that you would normally do with face to face groups, but then on-line for more geographically dispersed groups. Raymond and I are sure to meet here in NL in the near future and continue the conversation.

The link to the Vidoe gives an error to me. I think something went wrong in the encoding. However, this one works: http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=4364811336701562504
