Waving hi, from one of the "WisCon DW link exchange" crowd. I find online cons a weird mixture of relaxing and exhausting. Relaxing, because there *is* that ability to walk away and do something else. Exhausting, because screen time is just more wearing for me than experiencing things in person.
I second the amusement value of having separate-channel chat with people watching online panels. I've done that with friends when attending virtual academic conferences. (Academics can get really snarky when in private!)
