Very laborintensive task

I just created a second post with my picks for the Oct 19 conference day. I must say that this takes a lot of work. Too much, actually!
It seems to me that there is an urgent need for some sort of mechanism on the conference website whereby I could search through the database of all preconferences and sessions. But there isn't, as far as i can see. Why not use tags or the like? That's why I love Flickr.com or del.icio.us so much. They really have thought about the ease of use of their services.
Is anyone listening? Anyone agree? Suggestions?

Wytze, as far as I can remember, last year there were search facilities, but available in september.
You're too quick.

@Hanneke: yes, I remembered something like that too. But I wonder why it is not yet available.
@Wijnand: the 'persoonlijke rooster' is something that is also heavily discussed over here! Any news from the HAN?

Anyone from Educause that wants to respond?

The Knowledge Pathfinder/Itenerary Builder app will be up around the end of July.

Thanks,

@Matt: thanks very much for this info! In the meantime I found out that there are already preselections made for different tracks that have been defined. Quite handy!
