Thanks Kris. The situation you describe is close to what we are thinking of doing, so it&#39;s nice to see your endorsement of it. <div>Best,</div><div>Ann</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 11:48 AM, Kristofer Layon <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:[log in to unmask]"><a href="/cgi-bin/wa?LOGON=A3%3D1104%26L%3DWEBSTANDARDS%26E%3Dquoted-printable%26P%3D126793%26B%3D--20cf307d015ac6330704a0e4fc77%26T%3Dtext%252Fhtml%3B%2520charset%3DISO-8859-1" target="_parent" >[log in to unmask]</a></a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br></div><div>Presenters (as well as attendees) can always keep up with Twitter more discreetly on their own mobile devices or laptops, if they wish, so I&#39;d also not encourage the Twitter wall to be justified in the presentation space in order to keep everyone &quot;in sync&quot;.  The web can take care of that for everyone already.  Of course, &quot;discreet&quot; being rather relative in this case... once it&#39;s on Twitter, you&#39;re not being discreet.<br>
