What has me interested is interoperability of content produced on social networking sites. At the moment I am looking into ePortfolios and have some concerns over the ability to shift 'artefacts' such as documents from one service to another without losing any aspect of the original (formatting, context, content etc. Cheers, Jerry.

DFDS was a great evening, and I take my hat off to the organisers and everyone who's enthusiastic about this topic :) It's probably a bit like the old Y2K thing: If we had done nothing, chaos would have broken out on 1/1/2000 --- in some circles anyway. But because we worked hard over a couple of years, we got it right. And a lot of people thought it turned out to be a fuss about nothing. Interesting that you are keener on the non-formatting aspects while I'm more focussed on the format stuff. I guess that's a tech writer's standpoint ;) Seeya on the page, Sarah Hallo Jerry, and thank you for linking to my blog.
