Interaction between Presenters and Online Delegates?

As far as I can tell, there has not been much interaction between presenters and online delegates thus far.
Online delegates are watching videos, reading about the sessions which have taken place and posting their comments, but are the presenters reacting to these postings, or are they busy taking part in the conference?
Or am I just being too impatient??

Dear Neil, Sorry to be a nuisance, but could it be that what I meant (and was hoping for )here is called live-blogging and has in fact happened a couple of times during the conference ? (see link below)
For future reference, could you explain, please?

I see, Neil,
It was just that I had been hoping for a more immediate reaction, you know, like after a discussion on T.V. when the viewers can mail or phone in their comments to the panelists and get them reacted to at once.
Perhaps an idea for future conferences? Being near in time making up for being far in space, that kind of thing?
Will stay with you of course for the next few weeks as an OM

Thanks for your comments Diana,
The presenters are all very busy, as I'm sure you can understand. Many do not have access to the intrenet while they are here, and those that do will not necessarily be checking this site too frequently (as they are here in person).
We do expect that over the four weeks after the conference we will see a lot of conversations going around the sessions - hope you can join us.
