One question for you as a blogger, tweeter and presenter. Do you have a problem with someone pecking away on a PDA or laptop while you are making a presentation?

Me too, Mark. Like Robert Scoble says, all I want out of life is to meet someone who makes me smarter today. You are definitely one of those people, and I appreciate the comment, dude!

Let's start that presentation for #SHRM10 in San Diego. ;-)

Really touched on some important points and I love that we were able to spend some time together!

I agree with you. She is working her butt off to get SHRM out there in front of HR professionals in a big way. You already saw my comments on the dinner.

Thanks for dropping by and don't be afraid to leave a note every now and then! It was a pleasure to meet you as well!

I think I even got more out of the tweet-up and the dinner than I did most of the other sessions. The commitment to giving bloggers as well as using social media to extend those who couldn't attend is a good first step and one that is needed in SHRM. China is certainly taking this ship in the right direction.

PS Great to met you during the conference.

Dude, I know you know how to brainstorm. My problem is keeping up!

The advice you are offering to your organization is important. Hopefully they will think through it and make a good decision.

Great to finally meet you in person at #SHRM09! I look forward to many more meetings in the future and (of course) brainstorming sessions! ;-)

I mentioned it to a couple of people, but I knew I could resurrect it. It was great to hang out with you, and you did awesome work covering the show. Looking forward to more such events! Stay in touch.

While social media isn't the one answer for HR or anyone else, it's a tool that needs to be added to the toolkit. I can personally say that the SHRM Conference was a completely different and awesome experience for me because of it. From meeting the "faces behind the avatars" that I've interacted with for so long, to getting different viewpoints on blogs from others who attended and being able to follow the conversation on Twitter of both sessions that I was attending as well as others I could not. Social media provided an enhanced experience for me at SHRM09 and that's something we can carry into our everyday work lives as well. And I can't believe you lost your entire presentation on Tuesday! You never mentioned it and remained cool and calm. Great job – you're a true professional! :)
