Reconstructing dConstruct

Couldn't make dConstruct due to client deadline, so thought I'd reconstruct it via the blogosphere and microblogosphere.

Akshully, the microblogosphere was fairly useless in the event - now that everyone who is anyone is on Twitter, the signal to noise ratio at these sort of events drops as everyone twitters to the other people there ( rather than talk to them? ). I did enjoy dConstruct Bingo though - we had a similar idea a while ago

The blogosphere has been rather more useful so afr, with the following blogs covering it:

Tom Hume, who reported the gist and gave some pithy analysis to boot, is a great synopsis-in-one.

Seb Chan does a good precis over here

Jim Muttram does a "url association football" play over here

Sergei Muller on the irritations of product pitchers.

Will add more as it comes in.

All in all very interesting - my own takes on a few points brought up ( not being there is an issue, but hey its my blog):

(i) "Real Life" based systems will never equal the user experience of Games.

(ii) The piece on Portable Soc Nets sold all the old stuff without answering the privacy issues that Scoble inadvertently highlighted when he ported all his "friends" to Plaxo, whether they wanted it or not.

(iii) Pop (Behavioural) Psychology will be all the rage in 2008/9 - its on the Gartner Hype Curve as we speak.... Asimov's Psychohistory is being fired up as we speak!

(iv) Scale Free networks unpredictable? - Not sure I agree, given what the Artificial Life people have been doing for 15 years.
And there must be a way to separate the chatter from the commenting on Twitter!.
