I think this sense of feeling connected is crucial to online conferences.

Yesterday I was chairing the closing keynote panel at the Digital Learning Conference in Vancouver. Some of the panel members were known for their innovative use of social media. I found it fascinating to watch how between giving their remarks panel members turned on their iPhones or iPads and monitored Twitter comments. It's like the panelists were seeking to connect with not only the audience's public out loud verbal questions and comments but their internal observations, analysis and critiques too. Twitter's stream of consciousness back channel deepens the sense of connection by tapping in to the unspoken.
