Dear Reid (and other AoIR'ers) do you have a contact for the conference organisers? (re: RFID tags). I'd love to find out how the system worked. Can anybody point me at any references to work carried out trying to automatically capture social interactions? RFID or otherwise... Lots of social as well as technical issues to be considered, as has been pointed out by other posters. many thanks!

I attended a conference where the badges were RFID and when I approached someone that shared my interests (logged at registration) the badges not only recorded the data but beeped on both badges to inform us that we were kindred spirits. It was awesome. Can you imagine this for group research? Reid ________________________________ Dr. W. Reid Cornwell The Center For Internet Research P.O.
