I was there and it was very uncomfortable. I felt bad for the panel, because people in the audience were reading the back channel’s random comments while the panelists were talking, and then the audience would laugh at totally inappropriate times. I’m sure the panelists thought, “Why are they laughing at what I’m saying? I’m not trying to be funny.” My thoughts ranged from, “Is this supposed to be how it works?” to”Yes, that is both tacky and funny”. At no time did it seem to be adding value to the panel discussion. I think it would have been more relevant if anonymous posts had not been allowed. I hate to sound like a stick in the mud, because many of the comments WERE funny, but the panel was supposed to be a serious discussion.
