It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday though it was brief (in the real world) and extended (in the Twitter world). I agree with your sentiments regarding the heightened level of communication and true, passion-fueled sharing of interest in technology among fellow participants. It was unlike any other conference I have attended. A big part of it for me was the community of Twitter-ers that was alive and active beneath the traditional conference surface. I look forward to future interactions...and hopefully some collaborations of creativity as well! Well stated!

I am struck by the fact that there is real community developing. I pride myself on the fact that I am a learning designer -- not an instructional designer per say anymore, but a person who spends his time thinking about how teaching and learning should happen. Yesterday it felt like I was hanging out with several hundred people who take pride in that exact same thing. The fact that it happened here, at my University, is astonishing. Twitter helped bind a sub-tribe together and the activities of the day made people feel included in what was once a secret -- that our University and the community it contains kicks some serious ass. I am thrilled you decided to join the conversation! Great post and a great day yesterday. I am struck by the fact that there is real community developing.

I enjoyed making the connections with you all at TLT and while I understand your, um... glass half full response, am glad that you came--along with the espresso cupcakes! I have a good friend that has reconnected to the need to "tribe" and has found his religious roots in "Asatru." So we all have that need. Thanks for your post!

This experience *was* synergistic as one of my twitter friends said, and it *was* something that had an energy and a passion. I am so thankful to have been a part of it. It was good.
