How can those notes best be aggregated in one place to be shared with all participants and perhaps with those who didn't attend the event? Take for example, the netsquared conference.

NpTech Tag Talk If you couldn't make to the NpTech Conference call this week, there are notes here. Many useful observations and questions raised about how to analyze the tagging data we've collected and how to move from a folksonomy to a taxonomy. I think the NpTech tag helps provides a needle and thread to sew these patches together.
