I received an email about the Atttendr Identity Mashup conference wiki today. This is a good idea rolled out a few days too late. My friend Tom, who founded 8 Minute Dating, has a company called Networking Match that does something similar, albeit with a greater degree of pre/during/post-event networking. I enjoy the pre-conference attendee browsing, I just would have liked to do it earlier in the week.

There is one tag called on Attendr we-need-introduction-protocols which I found while clicking around the tagsphere. This is definitely something that requires a great deal more thought. I threw one up for fishing, because the identity-centric focus of the tags lost their importance, of course everyone is interested in identity. I will buy a beer for the person who comes up with the best tag in the cloud.
