So far Northern Voice has exceeded my expectations. Every session I’ve attended has been worthwhile, and both the Moose Camp mashup session and today’s Social Software for Education panel were standing room only. I have more to say on both of those (and a lot of other things), but not a lot of time to write until tonight.

What I love about NV is that so many people here are passionate about what they are doing. Although most of the attendees at the education panel were associated with educational institutions (which surprised me), most people I talk to are bloggers first. They believe in the power of blogging as an act of self-expression and as a life-changing force for themselves and others. That passion and enthusiasm can be contagious… and has been!
