An idea for a conference session...

A-list blogger sits at table in front of room.

Participants line up. Each, in turn, dictates a 140-character blog post, which the blogger dutifully enters, verbatim. Two or three links. Next.

Only works for bloggers with a certain amount of flow, or A-list goodness to bestow.

Happiness Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Happiness is a doctor's office with open wifi.

Happiness is your blog moving from rank 260-something to 140-something on Technorati for no apparent reason.

It would be wonderful to break into the top 100 again. At the beginning, this blog was #1 on Technorati.
