When I engage in any learning, I like to give my undivided attention to the presentation or workshop or whatever, and I take minimal notes--the notes I DO take are just the in-the-moment "a-ha's" I might have and any essential facts that the presenter provides (that aren't already written down elsewhere). Afterwards, I reflect on what I may have learned, go over my a-ha's, and see which ones (if any) are interesting enough to share outwards. Sometimes that lightbulb I had during the presentation turns out to be a dud when I read it later. Others may turn out to be more than a lightbulb but a whole chandelier after I've thought about it a little more. I don't see much value in real-time blogging or twittering except as a note-taking device (and definitely don't want those notes spamming other twitter or Facebook walls). I don't care much to read someone else's unedited, unvetted, stream-of-conscious thoughts. Don't tell me what you heard; tell me what you learned. Great post, Tim.
