I’m late to the party for final thoughts about the eduWeb conference, because I’ve just made it back home. Technically, I could have driven back home yesterday, but just chose to meet with family and have some fun after a 2-day long journey from Atlantic City.
For those of you who didn’t follow me on Twitter, after my keynote speech in Atlantic City Wednesday, I had the pleasure to spend 5 hours on the tarmac at Philly (but I guess with the amount of rain and wind shaking up the plane on the ground, it was better than being in the sky), to take 2 cab rides with my new friends Kaitlin and Angela to our far far away hotel, spend more than 8 hours yesterday in a rental car out of those I took the wheel for about 3 hours under some really heavy thunderstorms (think buckets of water thrown at your windshield consistently).
I’ve uploaded my slides to Slideshare, so you can get an idea of my presentation.
Mark Greenfield and I will also be recording webinar versions of our talk as well (available early next week) so people who didn’t get to stay (or come) will be able to get most out of the keynotes.
As my fellow higher ed bloggers and twitterers have already said, this conference has been an amazing experience. I feel very lucky to be part of the higher ed community. I have big plans for the future and hope this will help this group thrive even more.
If you want to find a great round up of all the content produced at eduWeb 2008, here are some useful links (many have already shared most of those, but just in case you’re not one of their readers yet)

I’m flying to Europe tomorrow for business and pleasure, so there might be some very light blogging in the following weeks. You’re still invited to share your secrets behind your successful community or social initiative by posting a comment or a video reply
