"I've been uploaded the photos I've taken of MeetDifferent to Flickr, a free photo sharing service that allows you to share photos with everybody based on a common topic. I encourage others to do the same and add the tag "MeetDifferent" to their photos:http://flickr.com/search/?q=meetdifferent&w=allJordan"

"Thanks for posting this, Jim.We're working hard to develop a solution that works across all versions of Outlook and other calendars with these steps."

"We have a mobile version that should work on ALL mobile browsers, including Android and Epix, but I'll be honest and say that we didn't put as much time into working the kinks out of those versions. Given the popularity of the Blackberry and iPhone, we decided to deliver a rock-star version on those first.So go ahead and access the site on whatever your mobile phone is and let me know how it wo..."

"We created a step-by-step guide to Twitter for event planners at http://resources.pathable.com/twitter-for-event-plannersIt includes the basics as well as more advanced topics like how to have every Twitter that someone sends e-mailed to you. This should be a good jump-start for those of you planning to attend Jim's talk (but is no substitute from Jim's more complete session!)"

"I've been thinking a lot lately about what conferences will look like in the next 10 years. There's been some experimenting with "virtual" conferences in Second Life, but my gut tells me that won't really take off (a gut that admittedly has not always served me well).Instead, I think we're going to start seeing more interactivity during sessions leveraging mobile devices that people already own..."

"It's great to see people getting to know each other on the site. Just one note to help you use it effectively and to make a good impression.If you are sending a message to an individual person, click the small icon of an envelope that you see when hovering over their user tile, or click Start a Conversation _WHEN VIEWING THEIR PROFILE_. You can be sure you've done it right if that person's name..."

"I know I had one of those "standing in a shaft of light" moments when someone taught me how to use named cells on a separate worksheet in Excel to break out my assumptions from my calculations. It meant I had one list of all the assumptions I'd made, which I could then change however I wanted based on best-case and worst-case projections, and a separate page where I could see the effects of tho..."

"Jim Spellos and I will be hosting a webinar tomorrow, Thursday 1/15/09 at 1 pm CT on how to use MeetDifferent's Pathable site. If you're seeing this message, it means you've probably already figured out the basics, but there are some neat features you may not discover on your own, so please tune in. Shouldn't take more than half of an hour.Information on how to to join the webinar here:http://w..."

"I know this one is probably a long-shot, but I wonder whether any other MeetDifferent attendees are amateur beekeepers like me. Would love to get together and swap stories. I also collect honeys from around the world, let's swap jars!"
