So I am going to DIDW. It’s key. I have no way of NOT going!
Eric Norlin slapped me around a bit today and both me and Doc took so lumps for not getting it together by grabbing an entire afternoon for our communal cause.
But it’s all good - cause this will be a [...]

Technorati and the AlwaysOn Network have joined up to create the Open Media 100. Categories include:
Founding Fathers (I hope there’s room for founding Mothers - especially given this weekend) (This is where Dan Gillmor goes - and Dave Winer)
