Gnomedex Keynote: Senator John Edwards

Just when you thought Gnomedex couldn’t get any better, Senator John Edwards signs on as our Keynote. The senator is a long-standing supporter of technology - including podcasting and blogging. Every year, we wonder how we’re going to top ourselves. When conversations started with Senator John Edwards’ office, they were intrigued and enthralled with our approach to content! Sentator Edwards will quickly turn his time over to the Gnomedex audience, fielding questions and fostering discussion over how technology could and should play a role in our world. This is fantastic! I’m sure you’ll agree, no matter your political persuasion. This is a tremendous opportunity to have your voice heard. Does anybody know any political bloggers out there? I don’t know any…

Wow, I’m impressed! (He’s cute too, for a politician.) Next year, Al Gore?

[IMG john-edwards.jpg]Chris Pirillo and the Gnomedex folks have confirmed that one-time 2004 Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidate and almost certain 2008 Presidential Candidate John Edwardswill be delivering the keynote address at Gnomedex 2006. Edwards will share the (now considerably larger) spotlight with the likes of Steve Rubel, Michael Arrington, Marc Canter, Dave Winer and Phil Torrone (who we thought was ditching the circuit

Gnomedex looks to be real interesting this year….!

Gamers go to this conference too.Chris Pirillo reports that he is thrilled that JRE has signed on:Just when you thought Gnomedex couldn’t get any better, Senator John Edwards signs on as our Keynote.

[...] Gnomedex, the upcoming geek and blog fest in Seattle the end of this month,  will feature Sen. John Edwards. This isn’t as odd a choice as it may seem, considering Edwards is an active blogger and podcaster, and was an early adopter to boot.

John Edwards is Keynoting Gnomedex. Amazing. Gnomedex 6 promises to be THE conference to be at in 2006. 13 days and counting…

Why are you going to Seattle I just don’t get it…

No matter how many times I try explaining what Gnomedex is or why I go. I’m not sure many people get why my household spends the money each year. Especially after the price has jumped from the every day geek being able to afford it. The conference has…

[IMG Senator_john_edwards] Gnomedex, now sold out, has a first-rate keynote speaker: former Sen. John Edwards, who should have been the Democratic nominee for president two years ago. Outstanding. Here’s Chris Pirillo’sannouncement.

I’m a political blogger… write regularly for National Journal’s The Hotline (among other things). Also have a group of political bloggers I can introduce you to. Edwards keynoting a conference like Gnomdex is exciting - I hope you will invite political bloggers to get special access. Let me know how I can help.

My only question’d be when he’s running for President. I’ve been an Edwards fan for a long, long time, and his affinity for technology, users and the importance of *people* has only bolstered that opinion.

Congrats Chris, well done!

[IMG enclose-block-text: yes] The guy clearly has nice teeth and a politician’s smile. Let’s see - what am I going to ask him about?: - net neutrality - dark fiber - Iraq and body bags - my embarassment of being an American and the fact that I have to apologize everywhere I go

[...] Chris Pirillo and Ponzi told me last night that journalists are begging to be let into Gnomedex now that Senator John Edwards is doing the keynote. They told us that every ticket is a press pass and that they don't give away free tickets and that journalists are welcome to buy a ticket, but one problem, Gnomedex is sold out. So any other journalists who want to come are gonna be forced to sit in the cove. "What about if Steve Ballmer dropped by?" I asked. He said he wouldn't get in either unless he found a ticket on eBay somewhere. He did say that some journalists, like Todd Bishop of the Seattle PI, had the good forsight to buy a ticket before they were sold out. [...]

Have you seen the latest Podcasting News headline?

“Will the Next President be a Podcaster”, then it references this site. Their site is busy at the moment, but check it out.

comes along. It’s called Gada.be. No extension. Just gada be. It was created last year by a fellow named Chris Pirillo, along with some other colleagues at Lockergnome. Pirillo has own live radio show on Thursday nights, and is one of the organizers of Gnomedex, a high tech/bloggers conference, which is being held next week. I had not heard of Gnomedex before, until I was searching for some information on Fortess Investment Senior Advisor and former Senator John R. Edwards.

I’ve been watching this guy on dspan today. Look-his pollyanna views on poverty is enough to make him dangerous. And he seems to be missing the point about unions. They’re partly to blame for walmart and and other importers of cheap foreign goods where we all know what conditions they were produced under. Frankly this guy is 1/4 baked.
Sincerely,
G in Fort Worth.

To G in FW,

I was just in Ft Worth for a visit, and most hotels in your area don’t even carry C-Span. But in person, I didn’t hear one oz of yuck about John Edwards.

He has a few ideas. You have a criticism. What are your ideas to solve serious problems with poverty and the eroding middle class? What if many folks didn’t have your tech skills? How do you solve the digital divide for the haves and the 37 million have nots, especially when public libraries are limited in their resources in what they try to do for bridging that gap?

I think Digital Divide Q’s are fair to ask John Edwards at Gnomedex when you attend, if you so choose to be political. My guess is that he won’t be so “usual poverty” but will answer this question and ones about net neutrality. Nothin’ wrong with those as they relate to what we do online, offline, etc.

Here’s some cheese to go with your whine. I’m giving you camembert in the event you will soften up and be more open about Chris’s decision to invite the Senator to the conference l8tr this week.

BTW, I guess you haven’t seen the latest edition of JRE-TV. Check out his blog, or mine.

business with a new offering that helps people find, listen to and share podcasts. It might seem strange that Edwards has the time to work with a Seattle podcasting startup and to keynote a geek fest like Gnomedex. But Gnomedex organizer Chris Pirillo notes that Edwards is a long-standing supporter of technology issues. I am also aware of some deep-pocketed investors in Seattle’s venture capital and investment community who like Edwards as a possible presidential candidate in 2008. I am sure Edwards

Gnomedex Keynote: Senator John Edwards ~ Chris Pirillo

A John Edwards presidency may be that moment that we look back upon and say, “He was the first president of the social media age.” He seems to “get it.” His wife, Elizabeth seems to “get it.” I am not saying that just because he was the keynote speaker at Gnomedex. Visit his website and you will see a veritable showroom for social media…not only does he have a blog, he launched it in Beta.
