I thought the idea was great. One of the difficult things about twitter is knowing who to follow. Eventually you figure out that once you follow a couple of interesting people, you can find new folks based on who they follow. But not everyone figures this out quickly enough.

People seem to be fine with the idea of tagging, but have problems with lists. At least the last time I checked, the lists contained a lot of interesting folks that I might not have discovered otherwise.

Sounds like it went really well. Congratulations. Even more impressive as this was your first presentation before a professional group.

On a related note, one of the female reporters on the trip reported on the fact that at the hotel in Saudi Arabia there was a great gym. She was all set to take advantage of it when she was told that she couldn't go in because she was a woman. She suggested maybe they could set aside an hour or two when woman could use the gym and so not violate the separation of sexes rules. But she was told this wasn't possible. Later they said she could hire a driver and perhaps use a gym on the other side of town.

Of course, as she said, Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world where women cannot legally drive.
