I am a bit late in blogging the Web 2.0 Slam workshop session that Helen Keegan, Josie Fraser and I facilitated at 9.30 on Wednesday at ALT-C 2007. My excuse is that I was busy helping to update the workshop WIKI on Wednesday and busy at the Towards a Social Science of Web 2.0 ESRC conference at York on Thursday.
Josie, Helen and I had planned a workshop where participants could engage with Web 2.0, celebrating its potential and thinking about the issues raised by user-generated content, sharing of personal information, and many other challenging aspects. The leap from the abstract to the workshop was hairy, and technical problems in the location threatened to constrain what we could achieve. In the event, it was a great success, thanks to the enthusiasm and creativity of the participants. The slams were enjoyable and thought-provoking, helping to raise discussion about some of the contradictions presented. Thanks to all the other bloggers of this event - Graham Attwell, Steve Wheeler, Josie Fraser, Kathy Trinder, Helen Keegan, James Clay, Emma Duke-Williams, More from Steve. I am still smiling to think of the fun we had
