In-Room Chat as a Social Tool - Clay Shirky
This fall, I hosted a two-day brainstorming session for 30 or so people on the subject of social software. The event, sponsored by Cap-Gemini's Center for Business Innovation and Nokia's Insight and Foresight unit, took place in an open loft, and in addition to the usual "sit around a big table and talk to each other" format, we set up an in-room chat channel accessible over the WiFi network. We hosted the chat using Greg Elin's modifications to Manuel Kiessling's lovely ARSC (A Really Simple Chat) software. (Greg and I had used a similar setup in a somewhat different setting, and we were determined to experiment further at the social software event.)
