Process:
Went very well. Introduced topic, showed 3-4 min video on social bookmarking and talked about topic, demoed Delicious online and also talked about how it could be useful on personal level and for working in groups or for a conference/event. Then hand-on demo of bookmarking and social aspect and tagging for last half hour.
Other:
Very mixed prior technology knowledge in group. Some said outside session they had no idea what it was about and were embarrassed to come, might have need more intro text about this in promotional material and how it is useful in work context. Eight people (from FAO) who could not come have already contacted me for a brief training in social bookmarking. Definitely a need for followup on this.
At the end everybody said the tool was definitely useful, two of them created an account on the fly and the others said they would do it at home because it's so easy! They also seemed interested in advanced features like adding people to their networks, bundling tags, re-adding browser buttons on another computer etc...
