Blogged out

Blogged out

: Yes, you wondered when that day would come and it has: I’m blogged out (but just for this afternoon). I was liveblogging the Harvard session but I saw it wasn’t yielding much new or interesting and so I’m stopping until tomorrow, when the sessions are supposed to be less about lectures from the front of the room and more about discussions around the room. My biggest lesson today is about the form of forums. A panel sitting there going down the line for sound downloads — the time-honored format for these things, of course — just isn’t interesting or effective unless you’re in a room where the people on the stage are all smarter than the people in the audience. That’s not the case here or in most industry forums I attend. The right way to do these things is the Bloggercon way and the art of that is harvesting the wisdom of the crowd.
