I am a Web Connections whore

One of the inter­est­ing facets of WD06 was Web Con­nec­tions. A social net­work­ing tool pro­duced by Tim Lucas and Cameron Adams to allow attendees to con­nect up and tag each other. I ended up in the most pop­u­lar list, mainly because with 15 mem­bers of the Perth Port80 posse at WD06, we all had a big num­ber of estab­lished connections.

Even without wifi access for the work­shop days, I attemp­ted to con­nect to the people I met. This earned me a web con­nec­tion whore stick­ers from Andrew K. and Ben Buchanan, but con­nect­ing paid dividends. I found from Drew’s pro­file that other than prob­ably the only non posse attendee from Perth he was using the same CMS as DOCEP and we got to swap war stor­ies and will stay in con­tact. When I spoke to Todd at the Sydney Port80 meet I found La Trobe Uni­ver­sity have just installed the CMS we are con­sid­er­ing for the lib­rary. I was going to catch up with Todd at WD06, but never did, so I just grabbed his hcard from web con­nec­tions so I get in con­tact with him.
