I think the live audience should be put first because the recording is a bonus, but still not quite the same thing as the live event. Certain things get lost with the recording no matter how good your equipment is. It already starts with if you can't hear questions or comments from audience members because they can't wait for the microphone, and their thoughts aren't captured. In such a case it would be rather unnatural to repeat the question if everybody in the room heard it clearly just so that it can be on the recording. Sometimes it is possible to rephrase it in the answer without repeating the entire thing, but sometimes it just needs to be let go. And the recording will be missing that part, but I think that is OK. Recorded presentations are different for me than live ones (and even livestreamed ones) because I do not feel the atmosphere & energy and don't have the opportunity of engagement unless there is a backchannel for a livestream. Thus, it becomes somewhat "flat". For that reason I do not watch recorded theater plays or operas on TV. However, if the speaker is good, then that does not matter so much to me. The good thing about recordings is - besides getting the opportunity to view the talk at all - that they can be reviewed leisurely. Taking notes and going back if I missed something is also easier.

I really wanted to make it useful for those not in the room since I knew it would be recorded and live-tweeted. I'm never quite sure how to find that balance of how much to attend to in room and external in today's wired world. Your reflections of the experience from afar are very useful in helping me calibrate! Thanks! Kristina, thanks for your thoughtful reflections on the session – even from afar.
