Back Channel Chatter

The New York Times has an article looking at the “new” phenomenen of back channel chatter during lectures, speeches, etc. My co-workers and I have been doing this for quite a while, using IRC for communications during conference calls with vendors and the like.

Maybe now more folks will know about this and keep up the pressure on the suits and talking heads, since they know about how to coordinate outside the expected communications channels.
