I'm very excited for this session...especially because of the awesome people who are slated to be panelists! While I'll be moderating, I'm particularly interested in what the panelists have to share. They are:

* Elizabeth Churchill, Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo! Research (and formerly at PARC). She's got an incredible background in human-to-human communications theory and practice
* Casey Whitelaw is the lead for the search, organization, and NLP teams for Google Wave. He's playing a key role in a technology that by March will likely play a big role in all of our interactons
* 1-2 more panelists, potentially from Twitter or another company/research firm that's seriously challenging the way we communicate today

While there will be high level discussion, the session will also offer numerous concrete examples for how new communication can affect user experience, personal communications, and business workflow.

This will NOT be a show-up-and-just-ask-questions-la-dee-dah session--there will be direction, preparation, and takeaway points that will make you seriously consider today's communication environment.

However, we're open-minded for the direction you'd like us to go...so please feel free to leave comments or suggestions!

I agree, sounds great. Hope you're considering Facebook too. Also would be interesting to see people talk about more structured forms of "communication", e.g. Basecamp.

These technologies have had a huge effect on my relationships with people -- allowing me to more easily distance myself from some people, and get closer to others. Sometimes that's been intentional and sometimes accidental. I'd be very curious to hear what else is about to change!

+ for the Google Wave reference :)

Please feel free to review my panel (click my name) and if you can address any of these questions I'd love to collaborate further.

I already thumbed-up this preso, but I came back to admire my handiwork. And your panel, which must surely make it onto the roster.
