How to post a new story on the BloggerCon site.  Roundtrip airfare, SF to Boston, as low as $288 on Orbitz. Roundtrip airfare, from London, as low as $454 on Expedia. Brian Dear has been blogging his experiences with Netflix. Scoble: "Of any company with more than 10,000 employees I can only name one that has more than a handful of webloggers: Microsoft." A.K.M. Adam will lead a discussion on the spiritual context of weblogs, on Day 2 at BloggerCon. Chicago Tribune article on blogging in the workplace. NY Times: "The recording industry, struggling to curb music piracy, is shining the spotlight on another demon lurking on the Internet: pornography."  I went for coffee with Jim Moore at Starbucks in Watertown, to talk about BloggerCon and other things. I asked what's most confusing to him about weblogs, and he said the infrastructure, things like Blogdex, Daypop, Technorati, search engines, etc. We talked some more, and I realized we should have a Day 2 session on this, so I just spec'd it out. The goal is to demystify the concepts that tie weblogs together into communities, and make it easier to edit the blogs, search them, find things that point to other things, etc. There's room for visionaries in this session. Where should we be going? Comments are welcome. News.Com: "Microsoft announced late Friday that it will pay more than $23 million to settle an antitrust suit filed by onetime operating system rival Be." Wired: "The music industry plans to offer what it calls a general amnesty to file traders who step forth and promise not to do it again, but experts say few will take the bait." Last year on this day: The road to RSS 2.0. The grid for Day 2 is shaping up. Lots of room. Day 2 is free. Susan Mernit's Day 2 ideas. Russell Beattie compares three aggregators.  Two interesting items from the World Of Joi Ito. First, he's hanging out somewhere in Europe with my fellow Berkmanite Ethan Zuckerman. They're telling the GLTs about weblogs. Second, Ben and Mena are having a meetup in Madison Square Park in NYC next Sat. Maybe I'll fly down for the day. I use their product, and like it very much. We're looking forward to entertaining Joi when he visits Boston next week. He's coming to the BloggerCon local host committee meeting on the 9th. That extends the concept of "local" a bit, because Joi isn't from Cambridge, or even Arlington or Waltham. He's from Tokyo, but he's very local in the world of weblogs. Joi is coming to BloggerCon in early October and Halley is our newest presenter. I signed her up yesterday. We still have to write up the talk, it's going to be a dandy. I hear she's going to wear surgical gloves.  |
