Clickers !?

I'm thinking about using clickers in a large MIS class next Fall. I'm wondering how well they work? Does anyone have ideas about how to use them? Most of the buzz I've heard has been postive, but this morning I learned about a professor who's decided to drop them from her course.

She claims that the clicker actually inhbits conversation among the students. They vote (silently) and then when they see the results, have little interest in contributing to a class discussion. Anyone have a similar experience?
