Education Publishing: Moving from the 18th to the 21st Century in One Step

keynote - Bob Young is CEO of Lulu (and previously from redhat) http://www.lulu.com/ - space for self publishing
OK, doesn't seem to be about anything at all quite yet - so I'm a bit distracted (or just flexing my CPA muscles)
- looks like the competitions have got too hard - I'm gonna try and swoop in a get/give some "power points"
- Quote from twitter: "is it back? is it reeeeeally back? I've missed my ELI twitterers metatwittercognitive thoughts!" - now there is a word and half (well actually 2 complete words)!!
- also looks like the twitterati don't like the keynote - he thinks he is a lot funnier than anybody else in the room seems to. Interesting twitter stuff, real time "critique" and everyone else in the room is watching him and it - you need thick, thick skin in life 2.0 - i.

eg twitter stream (read bottom up):

So far - there hasn't been anything on the screen other than the lulu homepage and he seems to be talking about not making enough money for something else that he has does in the past.
- you need thick, thick skin in life 2.0 - interesting to gather student feedback on satisfaction through this *gulp*, halo effects are so last century. OK the twitter is definitely of more interest, look at this (from bottom again):

I am not following this talk either. I agree that a little more structure & prep would have been appropriate. half a minute ago from web
I confess I haven't spent a long time on my Rolex connoisseurship. I feel alone. less than a minute ago from web

There's obviously something interesting about his experience, but he doesn't seem to have prepared to share it with us. less than 20 seconds ago from web
A long lulu promotion? half a minute ago from web
Please aim carefully. I'm up front and don't want to get hit. 1 minute ago from twitterrific in reply got a long tail for you right here pal. half a minute ago from web
