It's Your Business

I've been reading recent comments in the blogosphere about my first BBS presentation – most of which were quite forgiving, a few of which were not quite aware of my circumstance. I was asked to do this particular session in someone else's stead a few days before the summit launched, and was more than happy [...]

Talking with Talkers

We're posting interviews, and will hopefully get more sound bytes uploaded throughout the day. I'm 'l0ckergn0me' on #bbs05 (freenode), and of course in #lockergnome. I remembered by business cards today, thankfully. Not that I'll be able to get 'em to everybody, but at least a few folks remembered to wear their RSS pins (which I [...]

Beer + Talking = Beercasting

And the best part about beercasting is that you don’t need beer – and if you do drink too much beer, you’ll go home in a cast. Still don’t get it? Greg Narain gives all new meaning to the term “blager.” That’s Blogstrailian for ‘beer.’ We doubt we could tell you why you should do [...]

What about RSS, man?

Bill Kearney is possibly best known for his involvement with Syndic8 – a site that’s centered on providing users an easy way of discovering RSS feeds. According to one of its own press releases: Syndic8 is an excellent resource for news junkies and webmasters alike. The searchable subject index allows visitors to easily find news [...]

Canter on Podcasting

Marc Canter is a Social Networking maniac. That, and he has a few unique thoughts on the whole podcasting thing. It’s name, rather. recently, Marc helped launch Ourmedia: Video blogs, photo albums, original music, documentary journalism, music videos, children’s tales, Flash animations, student films — all kinds of digital works have begun to flourish as [...]

Not Blogging the Blog Business Summit

Phil Wolff is telling people: Don’t Blog… What happens when blogging becomes mainstream? What bad things will we face? Other technologies experienced a public backlash after a hype cycle [a sequence of events experienced by an overly-hyped product or technology, including a peak of unrealistic expectations followed by a valley of disappointment when those expectations [...]

Geek Dinner This Thursday

After this week's live show, we're gonna be gathering down the street at Blu Water (Leschi) at 10pm – so it's more like a Geek Midnight Snack. There's a bar and a restaurant that's open 'til 1AM, but no Wi-Fi. Bring your camera, cards, and make reservations ASAP so that they're not overwhelmed and understaffed. [...]

Blog Business Summit: Friendly Face at Microsoft

We all know and love Robert, but today he gave his first Keynote speech. Even if he was giving a “regular ol’ speech,” I’d still be very proud of him. Why? Because he’s himself, and not afraid to be himself. Speaking to people who typically have to hide behind the corporate veil, Robert did a [...]

Blog Business Summit: Helping Businesses

The world of business is filled with many people, but how many people are really in the world of business? That is to say, how many people relish the opportunities that come from interpersonal relationships? Anil Dash is one of those people. One of the first employees of the now-seventy-strong Six Apart, he’s now guiding [...]

Aeron Chairs

As you can see, I'm at the Blog Business Summit – doing business, and not much blogging. Yes, there's WiFi, but power strips would have been a billion extra dollars a day – so I understand why Steve (the business conference coordinator) decided to pass on it. Right now, I'm out of my chair and [...]

Blog Business Summit: Pitching the Executive

Mitch Ratcliffe is a name that’s known throughout the tech world – for good reason. He writes for Red Herring and has been fueling conversation since the dawn of time (or, at least, the early ’90s). During my energetic presentation this morning, which Marc Canter began with a bang, Mitch pitched a very important angle [...]

Blog Business Summit: Halley Suitt

The Blog Business Summit is in full swing. We plan on getting more interviews tonight at the mixer, but we’re not waiting for hors d’oeuvres! Here’s Halley Suitt, giving a qualified perspective of the entire event. Not only does she do Tarot readings, but she predicts the future with her short stories for the Harvard [...]
