@Lorraine Estelle: Hi Estelle
I was given your name today and would like to get in touch about a game/creative learning tool I've developed. It's based on the renowned Buffet Game and on the concept of 'Learners in Control' from the TESEP project. Where am I, by the way!? I keep joining online networks!
Exporting from CrowdVine
You can only export your mutual contacts.
Here's an add-on for Outlook for importing VCF. If anyone tries it or knows of a better way, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks

Yes, my partner's family live in Hightown - so everytime I go to visit, I visit the men. Are you from round those parts?
Signing in from Ethiopia
Hello Sara, hope you're doing well out there. In answer to your question to Richard, the weather was much the same as the past two weeks in the UK - changeable - sunny when we arrived and p***ing down when we left :)

too many characters
Just realised that I was supposed to twitter with #jisc08 instead of @jisc08. Nuts.
Ah well, the two twits (is that the right word?):
- Liz Lyon's talk in VRE session was excellent - four brilliant pointers to future of VREs.
- Ithaka pr...

@Anja ffrench: I'm signing in from Ethiopia, am interested in your work. You need to spread the word we need some IT specialists to share expertise as well please!
@Richard McKenna: Hi Richards, how's life, how's the JISC conference and how's the weather in Birmingham?
@Matt Jukes: Hi Matt, how's it all going, just signed in, not sure what I'm doing or where the best place to be is, any advice? Would like to say hi to a few people if they are around.

Tom - we will do in future and hopefully for this afternoons session - we just didn't get this mornings presentation in time..

Anyone wanting to get a taxi to ALT-PC meeting make contact with me today. I think I'll book a taxi for 4 p.m. Hoping this appears on front page.
@Andy Powell: Andy, Twittering CrowdVine questions is as good as sending them in to support:
1. Look for the trashcan icon under people's names on your My Network page. That's how you remove contacts.
2. Facebook gives two options for matching, name and facebook id. We think that false negatives were worse than false positives so we match on name. Usually you can spot the false positives.
3. Somebody responded to your Twitter that they were afraid of the Facebook import. Do you think that was because they were afraid we'd spam their FB friends? We don't work that way. And FB doesn't give us any option to either.
4. Friends from other CrowdVines does match off of user id. Maybe you have no matches?
Hope that helps!
@Shri Footring: Hi Shri
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. My twitter name is notlob. I much prefer jaiku but that is invite only so not much use for a conference of this size.
Lisa
@Angela Beesley: Hi Angela, looking forward to meeting you at the conference. Did you see that the Skype interview we recorded went out: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/news/stories/2008/04/podcast37angelabeesley.aspx
See you on Tuesday..

Hi Tony,

@Stuart Lewis: Hi, Stuart, Hope you enjoyed Open Repositories 2008. Keep up the good work on your repositories mashup - I use it frequently in my presentations
@Kathryn Robinson: Nope, its from the last time I did a JISC thing. Its a pathetic attempt to juggle apples......
@Justin Spooner: Hi Justin,
It will probably be mayhem, but hope to bump into you next week...

@Philip Pothen: Hi Philip, just read the Comms resposibility schedule. Looks like it's going to be a very busy Conference...

@Tony Stubblebine: Hey guys 'this pete whitfield' here! I'm too modest to say I'm worth meeting, but I would like to meet the 'other' pete whitfield who is into elearning!
@Matt Jukes: Matt, re-added "who's attending" to the session pages along with a new feature. The session pages now list the people you have on your to-meet list. Hopefully that makes it easier to find people before or after a session.
@Nitin Parmar: We just do name matching on the Facebook matching on the theory that false negatives are worse than false positives. Maybe this pete whitfield is worth meeting?
