And ironically, even with doing a lot habits you mention myself, I still felt there was sort of a pecking order of “stars,” etc.

And I would be the first to admit it can be distracting to me as a listener, (though sometimes it is fun to just do it ‘because it is there!’)

Another little “inside” habit I noticed that I think wasn’t really helpful was when presenters start referring to all their twitter colleagues as though everyone in the audience knows who they are–I think it is important to be conscious of the audience and that of course they won’t necessarily know everyone you are referring to.

It seems like there is a fine line that one should be aware of, doesn’t it?

thought provoking post Joel. Thanks.
