I'm not going to Gnomedex
I'm not going to Gnomedex
04/13/2005 05:42 AMI have changed my mind and made a decision not to go to Gnomedex
and their are several reasons why that will become apparent in the
next month. I had planned on going, but Corante asked first and I am
a dad with kids living in Hawaii and peak travel season starts May
30th which means airline tickets go through the roof.
Plus the event only has 300 particpants (important ones I know) but
I want to focus on events that are Podcast specific and the Corante
event and Podcast Expo are defnitley dedicated to Podcasting.

I don't go to many
industry conferences these days, but this year's Gnomedex, in Seattle, June 23-25, is shaping
up as a gotta-be-there event. I could tell when the guys on the
Starbucks Coffee Notes (March 31 in NYC) asked if I was going. Then Kosso, who lives in London (that's in
Europe!) asked if I was going. By then I was already working with Chris, but I wanted to leave
it a tease, so I said nothing. With the help of Steve
Gillmor, who was at BloggerCon III, we worked out a plan to
include a taste of unconference at the beginning of Gnomedex,
to help get the "audience" out of their seats, sharing their ideas.
You know, just like blogs. And it's cool because I get to go back to
Seattle, where I spent four happy months at the end of 2004. I'm
totally looking forward to Gnomedex, and thanks to Chris and Ponzi for
extending the very generous invitation to keynote! I can't wait.

Still Bushed from the Last Gnomedex
Still Bushed from the Last Gnomedex
03/19/2005 03:11 AM
The recent announcement of Gnomedex 5.0 reminded me of a
funny story from last year's Gnomedex. See, I was planning to give
away FeedDemon and TopStyle T-shirts at the event, but I was having
problems with a local T-shirt printing company. To make sure I'd have
them in time, I ended up buying a bunch of shirts through my CafePress store
instead.
A couple of days later a box from CafePress arrived, and I figured
I'd better check the shirts just in case there were any problems. So
I opened the box and found...
...a few dozen anti-Bush T-shirts.
No FeedDemon shirts. No TopStyle shirts. Just a whole bunch of
shirts spouting anti-Bush slogans.
Now, despite the fact that the anti-Bush shirts were worded more
colorfully than mine, I was still really disappointed. To their
credit, CafePress sorted out the problem very quickly, but
unfortunately not quick enough - I ended up getting on the plane
without the shirts, and upon calling my wife when I landed I
discovered that FedEx delivered the correct shirts about an hour after
I left (arghhh!).

Gnomedex: The Summary
Gnomedex: The Summary
10/28/2003 11:08 PMGnomedex: The Summary
How do you describe a conference, Gnomedex, where you get to meet
and hang out with:
- Tim O'Reilly -- If you don't get
the reference then piffle to you
- Rob Malda -- the founder of
Slashdot
- Dan
Gillmor -- San Jose Mercury News
- Beth Goza from
Microsoft who actually owns a Segway !!!
- Nelson
Minar from Google
- Nick Bradbury from
FeedDemon, Topstyle and Homesite
- Oh and, of course, Chris
Pirillo
- Tom Bridge from MacSlash
- And, even better, all the myriad Gnomedexers and Gnomedex Bloggers
(who are listed here) -- I got
the best suggestions on Feedster from just different random
people. And I'll be implementing those over the next few weeks
and months.
Over the next few days I'll blog more about the conference
including slides I thought were relevant. The overall impression
I got from the conference was simple -- it rocked. Chris managed
to make a technical conference **fun**. How often do you see
that? And I have to admit that I was purely in awe of watching
Chris' people skills. For me the most interesting part of the
conference was probably just watching Chris interact with people. He's
a natural -- its so clear why people pretty much love him.
So if you missed Gnomedex then all I have to say is you should make it next
year. The event was outstanding. Thanks Chris.

Wow - has anyone else been watching the list of attendees at this
year's Gnomedex? It's like a
"who's who" of the blogging world. Here are just a few of the people
who are planning to be there:
Gnomedex is at the top of my list of favorite conferences, not just
because of the people attending, but because I always learn something
new there. For example, last year's Gnomedex is where I learned about
podcasting, which resulted in me adding podcast downloading and synching to FeedDemon.
And it looks like there will be a lot of RSS aggregator developers
there, too - including Brent
Simmons (NetNewsWire), Greg Reinacker
(NewsGator), Mark Fletcher
(Bloglines), Tim
Catlin (Rojo), J.J.
Allaire (Onfolio) and (of course) myself (FeedDemon).
If you're thinking of attending, you might want to register now - I
wouldn't be surprised if this fills up soon.
Speaking at Gnomedex
Speaking at Gnomedex
06/23/2004 09:22 AMWhen I attended Gnomedex
last year, I have to confess that I went with muted expectations. As
it turned out, though, I had a great time, and rank it among the best
conferences I've visited.
This year, not only am I attending the conference but I'm scheduled
to speak on one of
the panels. Along with blogging gurus Robert Scoble, Henry Copeland and Ross Rader, I'll be discussing how
to maximize your blogging strategies. I'm glad I have a couple of
months to figure out what to say, because I'm not an experienced
public speaker :)
Among the other confirmed speakers are Steve Wozniak, Wil Wheaton and Dan
Gillmor.
The conference isn't until September 30 so I'll talk more about it
closer to the time, but if you want to attend I recommend registering now. Unlike
last year's Iowa-based Gnomedex, this year it's being held in Lake
Tahoe - so I expect even more people to be there.

06/24/2005 03:00 PMSo now I'm up in Seattle for Gnomedex. I missed it last year - as
that wa sthe wekend of my father's funeral.
So I WASN'T gonna miss out this year - especially since BOTH my old
friends Dave Winer and Adam Curry are the book-ends keynotes.
I get to sit in the audience and heckle - while my ourmedia.org
partner JD raps it out. We'll be showing interstitials between
sessions all conference.
Meanwhile it's quite a scene. The fire dept was called for some
errant smoke detector last night at the opening party and Denise
Howell convinced me that motherhood is a saintly experience that every
woman shoudl experience. She's glowing.
Got to hang with Mr. Weatherbug Chris Sloop last night for dinner -
along with Steve Gillmor, Steve Rubel, Dan Farber and JD. Maybe now I
can understand what Attention.xml is all about. I hope Steve uses the
'annotating a podcast' example.
Here's Dave and Matt Mullenweg:

Gnomedex 4 Officially Announced
Gnomedex 4 Officially Announced
02/12/2004 10:20 PMThey said Lockergnome couldn't do it again. However, we still went
ahead and booked a casino in Lake Tahoe from September 30th to October
3rd for the fourth-annual Gnomedex tech conference. This time around,
we set up a THREE DAY OPEN BAR - and pre-registration is still $99!
How much alcohol can you down in 72 hours? Let's not forget about the
whole "technology" thing, either. We'll still have plenty of
information for you to download into your soaked little skull. That,
and like every respectable host, we won't start activities at the butt
crack of dawn. Details will continue to roll in, but I can already see
that we'll (ONCE AGAIN) give other conventions a run for their money
(and value)....

06/21/2004 12:11 PMRe
surrecting Gnomedex
Hey gang - mind if I have a virtual heart-to-heart with
you? As you probably know, life has been very busy for me down here in
Southern California. I’m four years removed from Iowa, and eight
years into producing Lockergnome. We announced our fourth-annual
conference a few months ago, and I’ve watched it blossom into
something completely different than what it was in the beginning. I
hope you don’t mind my decision to bring Gnomedex back to its roots:
the people.
No open bar, no Comedy Central - just a whole bunch of geeks gone
wild on their own volition. Since ~50 people had signed up when we
were still promoting the “liqueur” angle, we’ll be honoring that
offer with drink tickets. It’s Gnomedex 4, plain and simple. Yes,
we’ll have parties. Yes, we’ll have speakers. Yes, we’ll have
panels. Yes, we’ll have fun. Yes, we’ll have sponsors. Yes,
we’ll have WiFi. With these two adjustments, we’ll also keep the
original spirit that made our convention so successful in years past.
That’s what I really want (more than anything else).
So, there you have it. Gnomedex 2: Attack of the Gnomes. Gnomedex
3: Fellowship of the Geeks. Gnomedex 4: Geeks Gone Wild.
[Lockergnome]
God i hope it's not normal.
I am gettign SO TIRED of sitting in audiences, listening to the
same peopel say teh same thing and then waiting for the :30 seconds
you're given to ask one question. That format is SO DEAD!
Last week we just debated for 2 hours. That worked.
Chris has the opportunity of doing something new and different. I
sure hope he does.
Meanwhile Supernova is this week - let's see how the hecklebot and
the backchannel disrupt the flow and create something new.

going to happen. But what does the addition of this keynote speaker

OEM News Aggregators

01/27/2004 05:18 PM
Continuing the discussion that started with Ads
in Feeds, I think the next step in content-syncation markets is
emergence and
proliferation of OEM news aggregators for premium content service
providers.
In this space, oversea software developers can compete effectively
against open source
and shareware developers.
Companies with necessary internal resources to develop their own
news aggregators
(i.e. Microsoft) or sufficient needs to differentiate itself (i.e.
Apple) will develop
their own, but most companies will opt to buy and brand OEM news
aggregators, initially
as a marketing ploy, but ultimately as a source of revenue.
Inevitable consequence is a feature war that will stretch the
definitions of syndication
and blogging. Marc will be a very happy man. :-)

Pre-population
"I reckon setting up aggregators for learners is way cool, in the
same breath as (if not before) looking at blogging, but I'm not too
sure about pre-population of those aggregators (in the same way IE et
al pre-pops bookmarks) for two reasons really:
1. I should be able to select what I want... take out the choice
(or hint at it) and I'll be a bit unhappy, as Jenny
said it'd be a cracking job by any librarian to get together,
categorise and share feeds... but already in there... no thanks!
2. It feels like that whole 'community
aggregator' thing again... which works against the individuals in
the group (we are our own group aggregator, perhaps?)" [incorporated
subversion]
My reasoning is that aggregators already come pre-populated anyway,
and most people would actually be confused if you gave them a blank
aggregator. So if an aggregator is already going to have some feeds in
it, let's make them relevant to get the point across right away.
In a university setting, a library can pre-populate the aggregator
with topical feeds. Ditto for special libraries. In a public library
setting, the aggregator could be pre-populated with local community
feeds. In a school setting, the feeds could be topical or class-based.
It's enough to get users started and of course in my ideal world, the
aggregator includes the library's feed and a permanent link to the
library's web site, online catalog, and virtual reference service
(maybe even as the elusive embedded toolbar).
Works for me.

dynamically (1/2 hour to 1 hour basis) create a "Blogpaper" a virtual

Extend Your Information Seeking Skills With Newsfeeds
"Many people no longer receive a daily newspaper, or even buy one
on the way to work. There is more news and more information being fed
daily online than a newspaper could hope to print. However, those
skills you used each morning for maybe twenty years, scanning the
front page just before you race out to work, are still needed, and
perhaps need to be refined and updated.
To experience more on the topic of this article you should download
the newset of the bunch of Newsreaders and deliver news from Newsfeeds
minute-by-minute during your day. No, this is not just your local,
national or international newspapers participating; often you can have
fed to you new information from weblogs, news sites, or whatever other
site you like to choose. Effectively mix your own news.
Start here by downloading the new Australian built Awasu Personal Edition 1.0 (yes, it
sounds Japanese, but I can assure you Awasu
is an Australian-built product.) I have downloaded and tested Syndirella, NewzCrawler, AmphetaDesk, FeedReader, Userland
Radio, Headline Viewer, WildGrape, and NewsGator. From this
field, I would choose Awasu any day even though it is the newest of
what they call the RSS Newsreaders out there." [Microdoc Info Seeker
News]
I'm not familiar with Awasu, so it's another one to try. More and
more people are figuring out the benefits of RSS news aggregators. If
you're not reading this in an aggregator, you should try it and see
for yourself.
