Written by Dick CarlsonGoogle has just released one of their internal tools — called Google Moderator — that allows listeners at a talk to enter a question they’d like answered. Other attendees can then vote up or down on the question, and this gives guidance on which questions are of interest to the largest number of people.
This could have some very interesting implications for in-person talks — but it’s something I already do in synchronous presentations, sort of. I have people enter anything they want in the “chat” section of the window — thoughts, questions, complaints, etc. Once they loosen up a little, it’s a great window into their heads to see if I’m hitting their needs or if I sound like a complete idiot.
