Technology is changing the way we do business. That’s certainly true of this conference. Long gone is the era of diplomatic notes. As delegates click away at their fancy MacBooks, HuffPo gets snips of their IMs.
USAID: Hey, how’s your session going?
NORWAY: WB just called me Sweden. It’s going great.
USAID: Ouch. Don’t take it personally - geography’s not their thing.
NORWAY: You?
USAID: The peasant is way out of line. I’m about to give her a dose of Monsanto seeds she’ll never forget.
SPAIN: Hey amigo, what’s shakin’ in working group 2?
CANADA: Venezuela just stole my show! Isn’t that rude? I should be angry, right?
SPAIN: Dude, just tell him to shut up. Stop being so nice.
