Hola Bella,
Traductor Google entender español también. Nos vemos :)
[for those who seek me and not the drink] I'm still at the the posters session so I'll probably get to the place closer to 21:00 or 21:30.
That sounds great, count me in on that trip to San Francisco! Anyone else joining? :)
I'm staying at the Hotel Montgomery (http://www.hotelmontgomerysj.com/), about 1 block from the Marriott (http://tinyurl.com/ob649q). Currently $116.75/night on hotels.com. I called the hotel directly and they matched the hotels.com price.
Hi Meena - let's get together at ICWSM! I'll be there Sunday night through Thursday morning. Maybe dinner with Matt and Akshay etc?
Cheers,
M.
Hola Gustavo, creo que somos los dos únicos que vamos de España. Nos vemos.
Indeed, I welcome everyone to stay for the workshops. (I will be presenting on topic tracking in the Spinn3r dataset).
The BLOGS08 dataset is certainly very attractive (and sizable). It has quite a few features of my dream dataset. So, the fea...
Eytan: thanks for inviting authors to post their presentations to slideshare (http://www.slideshare.net) during the conference. Three authors have accepted the invitation, which seems like a very low acceptance rate for a community that studies social media. Perhaps there's a bias against participating in (i.e., only observing, analyzing, reporting on) social media among some of the researchers, but I think it would to everyone's advantage to share the knowledge beyond the sessions (especially to share the knowledge below the bottom third of the slides, that most of us who were at the conference could not even see).
I would like to invite you to send directed emails to authors to point them to SlideShare, a wonderful social media resource for sharing information about, well, sharing information.
Thanks!
I posted some thoughts...would love to hear what others have to say.
For those of us that had to leave a bit early, who won best paper?
Hey Darya,
Really cool pictures, thanks for covering all the events of the conference :)

Anybody else have a flight too early to catch the shuttle, and want to split a cab? My flight's at 6:15.
If I'm ever organizing a mass of 30+ people to descend on a restaurant and have a great time, I'm calling you to make it happen! ;-)
I wish there was a way to connect with all the ICWSM friends on crowdvine directly on Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter. Anyways I am "akshayjava" on all these -- would be great if we can connect!
Here's the quote I mentioned in my comment / question:

Wish list item to pass along to the interface folks .... pls add a "My Digital Library" link to the home page task bar (Kathy's Amazon....)
I hate having to log into Account to get there ..., and it's Hidden on that page!
Likewise! Keep me updated on your undergraduates. I can send you our codebook.
Hi Matt:
I've also heard folks asking for a roster of attendees. How difficult would it be to create one (PDF, maybe) and post it in here or link to it in here?
I know it'd be great for me as I've met people where I didn't grab a business card and they haven't registered here. :-/
It would also provide an incentive to set up an account!
Finally, I think we should keep this "up" for networking between now and next year and to use in next year's conference as well.
Thanks. I probably should be more interested in the "why" than I am... normally it's one of my first questions! ;-)
Right now, I seem to be more focused on "what" as in "what are the impacts on existing structures" -- primarily political institutions and news media. Of course, that means I'm also very interested in economic impacts!
Finally, I'm mulling over this idea that "democracy" means "everyone should contribute equally" or "everyone's contribution is equal". This seems false. To me "democracy" means "everyone has the chance to contribute" --but not that all contributions have equal merit or that a system has "failed" if everyone does not chose to participate.
