By the time I got home, I'd already forgot about the long-tail, how readers read online articles differently, and the importance of inbound links. The importance of taking notes during workshops and panels must never be underestimated. Another thought about taking notes during panel discussions: it might be too difficult for someone participating in the panel to take notes -- though I know I said I would have. I now think it'd be easiest if we recruited a volunteer to take notes, or if we recorded the session. It's too hard to take notes and participate -- but you did a great job! It was a wonderful panel discussion, and I hope to do it again next year :-) Laurie This is a great summary of our online writers panel — thanks, Ali!
