Help me out here! If you walked in on a session with that title what would you expect to hear there? What would you want to hear there? What knowledge or insights of your own would you be able to contribute to the session? Do you know of any research on this topic that I should be aware of?

Your session title reminds me of the "Social Media Love-In" that took place on Darren Rowse's ProBlogger just recently. He did this to help his readers to find other bloggers to follow and network with, see http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/07/22/welcome-to-the-problogger…
