It's still useful to have them on name tags as well - that way you can follow people as you meet/chat with them during coffee/lunch. It's definitely useful to have them printed large! Johnny.

Oi vey ironic comment? given any of name / email / twitter, the other two is trivial to find using a search engine, no? i guess if you find someone interesting and pay attention than you can work out at least one of those during the conference. too hard? i recommend http://contemporary-home-computing.org/turing-complete- user/ -- maxigas, kiberpunk 0x787963BC287ED166 http://research.metatron.sh/ sent from my all purpose automatic digital computing system * * |metatron * * |research * * |unit FA00 8129 13E9 2617 C614 0901 7879 63BC 287E D166 _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org<mailto:Air-L@listserv.aoir.org> mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/ listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org<http://air-l-aoir.org> Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/ _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org<mailto:Air-L@listserv.aoir.org> mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
