Easter Eggs

The proposals accepted for BlogTalk 2.0 are found here. Apart from the fact that I'm happy our proposal was accepted, I was totally flabbergasted there are only two accepted proposals with multiple authors (ours, which has three authors; and one other with two authors). All the other 25 proposals accepted have precisely one author. Why is this?

Hi Anjo,

Thomas updated the list, and it turns out there were more papers by multiple authors than just the two mentioned in the first list.

But still a minority. Might be that bloggers are still mostly early adopters and therefore used to being somewhat isolated in their thinking. And maybe they haven't worked out yet how to collaborate on texts, other than in conversational style.
