G'day Barry !
Replying publicly as well - might be of interest to others on the
list, too: I attended WebSci '09 in Athens. For a flavour of the
presentations, see my conference blog at
http://snurb.info/taxonomy/term/103
Overall, this was an enjoyable event with a number of useful keynotes,
though from my perspective the humanities and social sciences tended
to be underrepresented, with computer science dominating - which tends
to result in rather too much belief in the power of technology to
address all challenges, and a lack of understanding for the
complexities of human activities online.
