 21:12:39  Lee Baber   Hi Brian

 21:12:41  vinnie   www.udutu.org

 21:12:42  JenniferW   can you hear Charelene

 21:12:51  learningismessy   Hi Lee!!!!

 21:13:00  mrichme   If you had to pick your best session from NECC07 which one would it be?

 21:13:04  mrichme   to this point

 21:13:21  CheriT   hurray charlene

 21:13:24  JenniferW   Justy ONE

 21:13:29  mrichme   yes

 21:13:39  mizmercer   okay it's http://www.udutu.com

 21:13:44  alicebarr   Alice Mercer Thank you  but I always think everyone is talking about you!!!! !!!!!! Are you here tonight?

 21:14:38  Durff   alice you are not new

 21:14:53  learningismessy   That's hard because many are good for different reasons. Maybe the best for the "techyness" was Pocketcaster - allows you to stream video to their web site from your cell phone and then later mash it together into a project

 21:41:57  Vicki Davis   http://www.utechtips.com/

 21:41:58  learningismessy   David Jakes, Jeff Utecht, Brian Greier, Vin, and me - it was a hoot to comment to each other during the preso - you see what I mean how cool this was here.

 21:42:36  Durff   in other words, it's passing notes in class

 21:42:54  guest478   I've always been a big fan of the notes

 21:43:03  Vicki Davis   Except everyone gets to look at the note!

 21:43:04  learningismessy   Skype is so cool in more ways than I even thought - definetly check out Jeff's post at the thinking stick

 21:43:06  bknittle   Those of us in SL are also chatting inworld

 21:43:11  CheriT   Vinnie we should do tags for ILTCE
