Hi Suzanne,
Nice to hear from you so soon : -) I think that a variety of opinions about the use of the World Café virtually are emerging... World Café Europe started experimenting with this idea a couple of years ago and had some very interesting and thought-provoking experiences. Even though many are leaning to the virtual side, I believe that the answer is somewhere in the middle. How could the best of the virtual world and the quality of real face-to-face World Café conversations come together? Where is the meeting point which is able to capture the "magic in the middle" not just the words abut the meaning of the conversation? As I explore the variety of social media available, I am constantly looking fo clues to these kinds of questions.
Warm regards from sunny Munich, Pat Munro
