BloggerCon views

| | Comments (0)

Now that the first BloggerCon conference is over, the feedback is rolling in. Scanning the wires this morning, as I have come to think of my Feedster searches,
there are two main themes--
1) The conference needs to be more representative of more types of people--too many attendees were a) white male b) full of themselves c)blog-centric, to mangle a phrase.
2) It was fantastic and I loved it.

Some random comments:
"I don't think anyone who attended can argue that the upper edges of the blogosphere is a highly intellectual, highly motivated, well-funded white male group that for better or worse is pretty full of itself ."-- Web Blogg-ed, Will Robinson

"Now, yes, I loved the blog camaraderie but quite frankly I don't want to be the only black person in utopia. I was the only black person in that room, and was one of a few minorities. " Oliver Willis

"BloggerCon also proved a thought-provoking, consistently involving, fascinating day. I have never been to a conference where there was such easy intercourse between panel and audience: everyone was truly a participant, in the best sense of the word. "-- Lane Knobel
