"... who's attending (and which of those are your friends), the planned sessions, and the date/time. ..."
Didn't see that. I was trying to think of how the service could supply you with contrary data - reasons to not attend. If I want to try a new restaurant, I'll check for balanced critical reviews not just the facts.
- simonw 16y agoSo far we've been quite careful not to address that kind of use case - we don't have comments on events, for example - partly because we don't want to discourage conference organisers and speakers from using the site but also because we want to avoid negativity becoming a core part of the community we are building. We'd rather make the great events obvious than highlight events that aren't so good. People have a limited conference budget and we want to ensure they can pick the best, most appropriate events for their interests.
- bootload 16y ago"... So far we've been quite careful not to address that kind of use case ..." I haven't used the service but I would have thought people do this anyway - back channel chatter. SO the service is all open? You can't openly discuss how good/bad a conference is to force conferences to improve? Either way it's a great idea, keeping coding.
