Well, unfortunately, I had to leave BlawgThink a little early to day to pick up my car. It was a damn shame, too, because I missed out on the last open/brainstorming session of the day.
The idea beind the last session was “Open Space” which is quite cool: people got to choose their own topics, and place them on a post-it note. There were eight “spaces” or so, and people that were interested in a topic would simply go to the designated space for whatever the topic was and discuss it. As many people as wanted to could go to a topic area, you could move from topic to topic, or stay put and discuss as long as you wanted. It’s really not more complicated than that… it sound like it would be to simple to be powerful, but I can tell you I was quite excited about it. Anyway, that type of free-form, Open Space discussion continues tomorrow and I’m really stoked.
