The more I’m allowed to interact and play with the content the more engaged and ultimately the more learning happens. The more the presentation relies on the back channel, the more I focus. Knowing that my comments are going to be seen by the presenter or live participants, seems to make me pay more attention.

A great post on twitter as a village. People often say they "don't get twitter" and I agree with this article. It takes a critical mass to understand the power behind it. Personal connections are great as well. With my 586 followers I've got a critical mass that allows me to learn 24/7 to tap into that village when I need to. Make the village work for you I say!

Both work. One day I suddenly realized this was, for me, tribe-finding. For arguably the first time in my life I didn’t feel as weird and different.
