Need to TiVo this conference

I'm in Banff for the ACM Computer-Supported Cooperative Work conference this week (pictures on Flickr). For being a small conference (a few hundred attendees), I'm bummed that the sessions on referential language and social networking are being held in parallel. How can I pick just one? And yesterday morning none of the sessions interested me. Somebody should start working on TiVo for conferences.

Heh - it would appear from the photos that other aspects of the conference (namely: being in Banff) make up for the lack scholarly excitement! I am envious!

Your grad school experience is quite different than mine.

Hi, Max! Just saw your tagging paper; Shilad gave a great presentation. Makes me think users should categorize their tags ("These are my personal tags; don't share them with the community"), or better yet, have the system automatically figure out which tags are personal. (Maybe this is all in the paper -- haven't read it just yet.) Congrats on Best of CSCW!

Oh, and I suppose my original post sounded complainey -- didn't mean to be. I'm really having a great conference. CSCW is excellent. (Okay, as is Banff.) When I suggested TiVo, I meant so that I could see all of the sessions later.

BH, I suppose I do travel to great places as a grad student. At least you're making up for it now! I'm always envious of your trips.
