Bloggercon

I'm at Dave Winer's Bloggercon. This is the first time I've been to a “user” conference that has no sponsors/vendors. The topics are on the “user” – what tools they/we use and lots of “how to” Dave said he thinks of Gnomedex, Blogher and Vloggercon as sister conferences. That was really nice to hear! All these conferences are in the same mindframe of focusing all our attentions on the attendee. I too think of these conferences as family.

Chris and I go to lots of conferences -mainly techy. This is refreshing. The feel of it reminds me a bit of Blogher. All inclusive is the theme and it's totally doable with such a small crowd. People are sharing the tools they use for blogging, searching, posting and reference. Doc Searls is the “ss” (Slave Stenographer) this is definitely worth your time – check it out.
