I understand your concern. On the other hand, there have already been 50 people that you'll be attending the conference with that have chosen option #2 (ok, option #1 didn't exist yet, but still). I don't know what other social networking tools (other than Facebook) might be planned for this conference but something that worked pretty well for the JA-SIG conference has been to publish a recommended tag (i.e. JASIGSpring2008) that should be used to take any photos taken on Flickr. At a recent BarCamp I attended they made heavy use of Twitter with a specified hashtag so anyone could follow comments attendees were making about the during the conference. That Barcamp was somewhat unique in that at least for part of it there was a simulataneous BarCamp in South Africa on the same topic.

[CODE4LIB] code4libcon09 waitlist note
Wow. Accessing the registration page now shows the waitlist page! This level of interest is exciting; this is going to be a great conference. Don't despair; know that spots *will* open up: we've 'held' spots for keynote speakers, talk-presenters, pre-conf presenters, etc. Today we'll go through the registrations and free up held spots as appropriate. So sign up on that waitlist. For folk we contact from the waitlist -- and for presenters that have not yet registered -- we'll provide a url that will allow access to the regular registration page. -Birkin --- Birkin James Diana Programmer, Integrated Technology Services Brown University Library birkin_di...@brown.edu
