An blog post by Bernie Goldbach @TopGold. CONN O MUINEACHAIN and Eoin Kennedy capture a lot of the energy and enthusiasm of the Congregation, a one day event that doubled the population of the small village of Cong, County Mayo. You can click the screenshot to watch the video or hear it on Audioboo.

A YouTube by Bernie Goldbach @TopGold. Congregation took place in Cong, Co. Mayo on Saturday and technology.ie was there. Participants came from the worlds of PR, media and technology, and every participant was a speaker. All had "blogged their way in", and on Saturday they gathered in a series of "huddles" to talk about social media and how to get the best out of it.

Blog post by Bernie Goldbach. I can write on a blank screen but not as quickly as my senior infant can create on Paper. Knowing that, but ignoring the warning signs, I started hammering away on my keyboard at my least productive time of the day....

Blog post by Paul O'Mahony. (listen to the audio version of this post here) Who wouldn't like to be asked to write a guest blog post? Wouldn't you be flattered to be invited? To be featured alongside others you admire? Wouldn't it be nice? Maybe it's happened to you already?...

LIFE ON AN ISLAND always offers adventures and that's what I discovered while on the island of Cong trying to set up an international Google Hangout during #cong13. I share some thoughts below the fold about trying to make a video conference work over limited broadband connectivity.

A List.ly list from Paul O’Mahony @Omainblog. It might be a first maybe, a listly list in another listly list.
