Lots of great conversations to have
So here I am at SXSW - and they won’t let yah ask questions til the end. But there should be some really interesting conversations today.
Topics include:
- why do the A-list bloggers have some many disciples? As soon as they sit down out in the hallway, they’re swarmed by legions of disciples.
- I wonder what the difference between ‘emergent semantics’ and emergent democracy’? Or better put “what’s the difference between the semantic web and the SEMANTIC WEB?”
- the Macromedia people are here - and their stock is up. Apparently Wall. St. thinks their Flash Mobile strategy means something. But wait till people discover my former comapny - they’ll go running in the opposite direction. The folks here seem nice enough - but if you got the kind of bosses they have - well I wouldn’t wish it upon strangers. They (the bosses) will find some way of fucking this up - just like they have so many times before. The oly good news is rumors of a buyout. THEN maybe they can get some decent management in there.
- blogging showdown vs DIY or someone else will vs Bram Cohen interview - hmmmmmm. So many decisions to make.
- I ran into Harry Knowles. His “Aint-it-cool-news” is based here in Austin. I also got to meet his webmaster. They’re one of my heros.
- Lots of other coolio panels like Open Source Marketing, We the Media, the New New economy and Red Sox Blog.
- and a Malcolm Gladwell keynote,
We doing a panel on open source infrastructure.
