I agree with Rick and I think the huge Twitter screen behind the speakers was a just plain dumb idea. It’s bad enough that people are tweeting during a presentation these days, but if they’re reading tweets on the screen, how can they possibly be paying attention to what the speaker is saying. Personally, I’d refuse to be a presenter under those conditions.
How could anybody concentrate on what he’s saying, with all that Twitter chatter behind him? I’d have to close my eyes. I even have to just watching the video. Annoying!
I love the Twitter screen behind him. Yes, it’s busy, but isn’t Twitter already busy?
Thoughtful comments that bring back a singular point. It’s never about the technology but about how we choose to use it.

Nice “Dennis Miller moment” there with the Phillip K Dick line.
Chris – thanks. You give me new ideas. I will use search in Twitter more often.

Chris Bogan, je te vois ! (french)
Wow, the Philip K. Dick joke did not fly in this audience. Guess that shows how *not* mainstream Blade Runner is these days. Feeling old now.
