Another great graphic from Kathy Sierra on the F2F Curve and why we still go to conferences:

Inspiration from Connection:

There's mirror neurons, for one thing, and the effect of emotional contagion that happens when you're around a pile of people who share the same interest and enthusiasm. Everyone comes out re-energized. And you don't need to go to SXSW to get that benefit! Simply attending any live event–from the three-person lunch meetup to the 100-person local user group can give you the most positive effect of being at an event like SXSW.

I had a very similar experience at the Community 2.0 conference last week in Las Vegas. And what's up with Twitter. I really do not get it.
