Conferences
Senator Edwards at Gnomedex
Interesting. In response to a question about framing issues, John Edwards just made an important point: “there are people who spend their lives figuring out what language to use framing issues. That’s not me. My job is to figure out where the country needs to go, which problems we need to solve. … Language will […]
Conference mashups
Was talking with Josh Bancroft this morning about conference mashups, an idea whose time has come. Last year’s Portable Media Expo was held in the same building and at the same time as the Portable Sanitation Expo… wouldn’t it have been fun to combine the two conferences?
I’m staying at the Westin in Seattle, and it’s […]
TechMeme hacked?
No, not really. Chris is making a point.
Get your FeedBurner stickers
You’ve been warned, most of the next 2 days of posts will be Gnomedex-specific.
If you’re at the conference and want a FeedBurner sticker (and, honestly, who doesn’t?!), find me and I’ll hook you up.
Off to Gnomedex
I’m en route to Seattle for Gnomedex. Looking forward to seeing lots of friends, and connecting with others who will be at Chris’s shindig. I’m staying at the Westin, drop me an email if you’re in town and let’s catch up.

That’s the third time today someone’s suggested that the publisher can decide the consumption dynamics […]
Richard Edelman on PR and Syndication
Richard Edelman is on the stage, talking about PR in the new media landscape. I’ve been listening (and not taking notes) for most of the discussion, but found the last discussion point interesting: when asked about the Wal-Mart brouhaha a couple months ago, Richard suggested that the crux of the problem was that one of […]
Checking in from Syndicate - Jarvis unkeynote
Jeff Jarvis is giving an un-keynote where he’s leading a group-wide discussion to kick off Syndicate. The audience “voted” by indicating that they want to talk about “Money and syndication” first (shocker! people want to make money on their content!). Some questions:
First questioner asked about the repurposing of his feeds, and suggested that he derives […]
Gnomedex 6
Forgot to note that I registered for Gnomedex 6 last week. Very excited to be going to Seattle again this year. Who else is going?
