i presented at a really interesting workshop this morning, at the ASIST 2008 conference. i was a bit nervous about it at first actually, because i wasn’t sure what “social informatics” meant to the workshop organizers and other participants — so i didn’t know how my presentation would be received. turns out, i felt totally comfortable presenting to the group and got some positive feedback. it was a really great, thought-provoking morning! here’s the list of presenters:
