New Media Knowledge Seminar: Blogging – A Real Conversation
Went to the New Media Knowledge seminar Blogging: A Real Conversation yesterday and did a 14 minute (it was closely timed!) talk on objectivity. Although I decided not to show my mindmap to the world during the talk, I’ve uploaded it to Flickr. It doesn’t encompass everything that I said – for the last five minutes I was extemporising on… Read more →
Supernova: The Backchannel
Ross Mayfield, Mary Hodder, Suw Charman As I was on this panel, it was pretty difficult to take notes. I think because it was a bit of an ad hoc, slightly chaotic panel – reflecting nicely the backchannel, I think – no one seemed to start taking notes until I put SubEthaEdit, which we were using for the collaborative note… Read more →
Supernova: The Backchannel Mole

Supernova: Marc Benioff, Salesforce.com
[Collaborative notes taken by Tom, Nat, Kevin et al. EAOE.] “The cake has to bake” – I don’t buy the whole-new-web story, this is a maturation process. We’re only in the beginning, yes, but it’s not Web2.0 either. We do use open source extensively, been coding since March ’99. Our killer apps on this stack are out (salesforce, supportforce), but… Read more →
