I'm sure that if people had not said that at the start of the conferance there would be all sorts of different tags out their for the same event. I'm thinking that if when an event gets going one of the main speakers (a keynote speaker) could say something like "can everyone take a picture of your self, and otehrs who don't have a digital camera with them, then upload those pictures to flickr and tag them with [insert tag here]?" If enough conferances start to do this it might just sort of become common-place. -N When I went to the Podcasters Across Boarders conferance one of the first things that was said when things got kicked off was that people should tag the pictures of the event that they upload to flickr with “PAB2006″.

Being the aging cyberpunk that I am, the first thing I thought when I noticed the alternate parsing was of Gibsonian "meat puppets." Mike, I agree. The fact that everyone needs to do that same thing with the same tag is the pinch point of this whole endeavor. If only the cats could all be herded the same way ... Darusha, that’s true enough.

For those who delineate between the virtual and corporeal by using terms like meat-space, "you met meat" is perfect. In fact, for some events, it's even better. I dunno.

The biggest problem I see with this approach is human nature - trying to get anyone else to do something specific like this is always dicey. The 'meat' thing is a tad funky, lets see what kinda feedback we get from this prestigious international event in Sydney. p.s. My kids at http://www.wholesalemeatmusic.com think it is pretty funny!
