Just a quick note – I’m continuing to update the BlogHer 06 live blogging wiki I created yesterday. If you attended BlogHer in person or virtually and blogged it, or come across such coverage, please stop by and add it to the wiki.
I’ve organized the wiki according to the conference schedule. General post-mortems appear at the end of the list.
Thanks to the people who have already been contributing to this wiki! I definitely can’t do this all by myself.
I’m sitting in a BlogHer 2006 session, Next Level Naked, and it’s really cool. If I get a chance, I’m going to mention the survey I did last year after the minor flap I found myself embroiled in following a disclosure I made during last year’s “Naked” panel.
Here’s the link: Survey: Online Personal/Professional Overlap
Since so many blogHer 2006 attendees are live blogging this event, I thought it would be easier to track this coverage via a wiki rather than simply scrolling down the list of pre-assigned live bloggers. So I built one…
So I’m attending my first session at the BlogHer 2006 conference. It’s fabulous so far! I’m sitting next to one of the first podcasters I started listening to in 2003, Nicole Simon from Germany.
I’ll be doing all my coverage over at The Right Conversation, so see that blog for updates.
Today I’m catching a plane to San Jose for the second annual BlogHer conference, which starts tomorrow.
Tonight (Thursday, July 27) I’ve been invited to speak on a panel at a monthly gathering of Bay Area PR luminaries, held this month in Palo Alto. The topic is podcasting.
My fellow panelists are:
The panel is at Fanny & Alexander in Palo Alto. It starts at 6:30 tonight, and probably goes until 9 or so. I don’t believe there’s a fee to attend this event, but you might want to RSVP via Meetup.com.
So to warm up my brain for this, here are a few thoughts on podcasting as conversational media…
Read the rest of this article at my other weblog, The Right Conversation…
A reporter from the Washington Post just interviewed me for my perspective on Netscape’s recent offer to pay talented people for their “social bookmarking rights.”
I wondered: “Netscape? Are they still around?” I assumed they were resting on the scrap heap of the the 20th century. So I told the reporter, “Give me an hour to look into this so I can give you an informed opinion.”
Here’s what I’ve learned, and what I think…
Just a quick heads up: I’ve recently confirmed as a speaker at this year’s conference of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ).
As I mentioned yesterday, on July 9 the San Diego Union-Tribune published an article by Bruce Bigelow called “Dr. Beyster’s book (Or: How SAIC’s founder stopped worrying about publicity and learned to love the blog).”
No kidding, that’s the actual title. Being a die-hard Dr. Strangelove fan, I adore it. And I don’t just like the article because I’m quoted in it. (But thanks, Bruce!)
Anyway, this is an example of someone who, like me, is blogging a book…
Lately I’ve been fascinated with learning about the Dust Bowl, thanks to Tim Egan’s excellent recent book “The Worst Hard Time.” This book inspired me to finally get around to reading John Steinbeck’s classic novel of High Plains refugees, “The Grapes of Wrath.”
One thing that struck me about Grapes of Wrath: I doubt that particular story could happen with today’s communication media, even that available to the poorest of the poor. Here’s what I mean…
I’m starting to collect my thoughts, observations, and explorations regarding conversational media into a more coherent body of work. This will take several forms over time: a book, a wiki, and most likely a podcast series. But I believe in starting small and simply, so why not blog it first?
In short: You can help me write this book. In fact, I can’t do it without you. This is, after all, about conversational media – so I need to have other folks involved.
The best place to begin, I suppose, is with how conversations start. So here’s an open question:
What’s different about how conversations begin online?…
