The blogged wandering of Robert W. Anderson

Notes from BloggerCon IV

June 23, 2006 at 12:07 pm · Filed under Web 2.0

A busy week, but I made it.

The first session (that I saw) this morning was led by Phil Torrone. People giving / talking about tools. Many questions about how to do specific things and what tricks people have to get it done (regarding blogging and podcasting). Clearly this stuff is still too hard.
Now (OK — two hours ago), Jay Rosen on Citizen Journalism. Very good topic / question: how do we do “users know more” journalism?

This is often mapped into “open source” journalism. One person suggests it needs a new name to help with the constant argument of “what is journalism?” Not a bad idea. I don’t like the term “open source journalism” because of the double meaning of the word “source”. “Users know more” doesn’t mean that the source of a story (e.g., an involved party) is “open”.

People are struggling (and Jay Rosen) has to keep bringing people back to the topic: how to do “users know more” journalism. I understand that after the talk he said that none of his questions were answered.

An interesting discussion just the same.

A lot of events in one week

April 20, 2006 at 5:04 pm · Filed under Miscellaneous

The week of June 19th is really full.

  • First, there was SuperNova, which I wasn’t going to go to.
  • Then there is BarCamp which I might have gone to.
  • Then Marc Canter suggested an unconference in response to SuperNova which has become BloggerCon IV. I RSVP’ed yes to that, though now I’m not sure if I can go.
  • Digipede is going to SIA Technology Management Conference in New York. I found out the other day that I’m expected to be at this one.
  • Yesterday I was invited to the Microsoft CTO Summit in Redmond on the 21st and 22nd.

I’ll be going to Redmond and I hope to BloggerCon IV.

We need eight days a week, eight days a week, eight days a week.

BTW: Marc: that is the longest post slug I’ve ever linked to. ;)
