Heard at the poster session: "I came to this conference in order to get social scientist input into my approach and ideas for future research." If there are 2 tracks next year, suggest that the conference provide some way for dataset characteristics, research questions, approaches/operationalizations, and key takeaways to be discussed meaningfully and in detail across the tracks.

I'm trying to write blog posts of the keynotes and invited talks (should have done panels too like the Government / Social Media one but didn't think of that) as it's a bit more difficult to get a good feel of what has been said when there's no paper associated with the talk - I know there'll be videolectures.net later but sometimes it's handy to skim some text :) So far, have: http://socialmedia.net/2010/05/24/bob-kraut-talks-community-design-it...

Anyone know the San Jose area? I agree with Sharon that the $185 + tax is kinda spendy. Anyone know of any other hotels that might be a bit more cost effective?
