		<description>Thanks for the input people. I didn&#039;t use to be a hugger myself (we didn&#039;t even hug in my family fer chrissakes), but I became one later in life. I really enjoy hugging people now, but certainlt don&#039;t do it with everyone I meet.

Eugene: The hugs per conference day is a great metric. By that standard the Tony Robbins event I just attended was a huuuuge hit :o)</description>

		<description>In 2003 and 2004, I helped organize the Planetwork conference (http://www.planetwork.net/), which is a gathering of folks applying technology towards activism.  My favorite feedback came after the 2004 conference from Mark Finnern, who runs SAP Developer&#039;s Network, and who decided there should be a Hugs-Per-Conference metric:

		<description>I&#039;ve suprised my colleagues every now and then with a hug, sometimes they like it... and sometimes they don&#039;t.

But everytime this breaks the ice, 100% guarantee :)</description>

		<description>I think it would be an interesting thought although people might have the feeling they&#039;re being forced into it as long as the person you&#039;re hugging isn&#039;t someone you really like :)</description>

		<description>Hugging in the workplace is no different to anywhere else as far as I&#039;m concerned.  It&#039;s a gesture of closeness that I tend to reserve for my closest friends, or those most in need of emotional support.  

Viewed that way, it&#039;s rarely appropriate in the workplace. But it&#039;s never something to be frowned upon, as long as the recipient is willing!</description>
