Yesterday, I spent a wonderful day in Greensboro, most of it on the NC A&T campus attending ConvergeSouth. I am still trying to recover from the event, so this post is just a big Hello to everyone I met there and another post about buidling online communities inspired by the meeting will follow…
So, while I still have a few more minutes on this wonderful wifi (another Scifoo camper attending ASIS&T meeting just walked into the coffee-shop a few minutes ago - how the world is small!), let me summarize my thoughts on ConvergeSouth2007 before they are erased by the new memories generated…

I would expect it to help managers and IT managers to overcome their irrational fears of social networking sites. The impulse to ban access to such sites is too common. I say a little more about this on my blog

I just returned from hearing the ConvergeSouth discussion on this topic and it actually was quite interesting. The topic of social networking anxiety was more one of a discussion around the reluctance of scientists to comment online about scientific articles. The two reasons given for this hesitation to comment were 1) no time to be involved and 2) fear of retaliation if someone reading a comment felt it were unworthy or incorrect. It was a good discussion- perhaps worth repeating as a topic at the upcoming science blogging conference in January. I also think it would be useful for Boro to summarize in this blog what he learned from being the moderator of this session in the conference.
