It was great to see so many people at the IIA blogging seminar in the Hilton yesterday.
I finally got to meet a number of people who, up until then, had been merely names without faces.
Bernie blogged live from the event, while Brian mentions it this evening.
I wasn't too sure what kind of questions people would like to raise, but I was delighted with the level of genuine interest people had in blogging overall.
Questions asked ranged from "why is a blog different to a website" through to the finer points of comment moderation and control in a business environment.
The audience ranged from power users, such as Bernie and Brian through to the curious and those just "dipping their toes" into the medium.
While I had originally planned to cover a very broad range of topics the lively debate and discussion took us to new and more interesting areas than I could possibly have imagined.
I'd love to do it all over again :)

I'd just like to say thanks for a great event. As Michele said we dragged him in all sorts of directions, but the interactions were very useful particularly those from the more experienced bloggers. It was the kick in the bum I needed to finally get my own blog going. http://johntimmons.blogspot.com/

Glad to hear that you found it useful :)
Best of luck with the blog

I scribbled some notes in my copy book during the seminar and gave them to third level students who recorded their answers as a podcast here:

Some of their perspectives would have played well in the Hilton during the seminar.
Bernie - I'll try and listen to that before I see you tomorrow :)
