A few tweets during the Unconference:
@penguinasana – Being open to getting bad feedback, but allowing that & listening, making change as a result builds loyalty #ocu2009

@suzboop – Incentives are bad, instead reward -give users a way 2 feel good about what they’re already doing well.Don’t pay them 2 participate #ocu2009

@DebbieDembecki – feature development without plan for measuring use of the feature is counter productive to measuring engagement #ocu2009
