Apparently, friends don't let friends spend too much time on their computers. As a sort-of intervention, Meetup.com (which, if we have our facts straight, is a Web site devoted to helping people seek-out in-person groups) recently launched unplugyourfriends.com.

Now that Google's busy with other things, there's ubExact. The public beta launched yesterday.

Core77, which sadly we haven't had nearly enough time to visit lately, has an enlightening article by Alissa Walker (who, "honest to god, once attended 21 conferences in a 12-month period") titled, "Conventional Wisdom: Eight Ways to Save Design Conferences."
