so my suggestion that there be some structure to facilitate audience questions getting heard was shot down....Dave made the point that those guys on the panel who know so much more about blogging and journalism had more important things to say than those of us in the audience....he wasn't worrried about people getting heard...
while I get that these guys are the "experts" in some way this flies in the face of the win-win theory....is it not possible that some audience participants have valuable contributions...insightful comments...pointed and fascinating questions? Is this just a who's in and who's out in the blogosphere?
I personally had nothing to contribute but the women on either side of me were struggling to get heard...that doesn't feel right....who gets to just "hijack" the conversation and those that are waiting patiently to speak don't get heard...
