The dynamics of people in the space were very interesting and we certainly learned a lot. – mainly about what not to do :-/

I agree with Nick that the adversarial nature of the set up prevented early interaction from the participants, although that may not have been all bad while the idea was established.

Turning the presentation through 90 degree might have helped alleviate this – although we would have got a tennis head effect caused by the competing visual stimuli.

But, overall, it was a fun and interesting experience for both Alex and I and we trust we will get the chance to do it again.

Having it directly behind the speakers makes it a very exposed lace, so most people would shrink from that. Also having lots of seats means people choose a fixed spot and stay there. So wall to the side of the speakers, fewer chairs than people?

Maybe our media socialites are a shy bunch?

The other thing that I found interesting was the lack of a string of threaded ideas from each concept or thought raised. I was expecting ideas to connect and run from one to another, with plenty of cross over, where what we actually achieved was a ’splat’ of ideas all standing alone on the wall. The most we probably achieved joined up might be 2 or 3. Maybe this portrays a physical representation of Twitter itself? Lots of ideas, many getting RT and repeated, but many starting and stopping in their own space.

I am interested in ‘what next’? It’s important to post these observations now, along with the pictures of the wall, and see if we can gain anything from this.

Next time you’re right. Pens on the door.
