Rambles and Riff Raff about all this and that

Attending Web 2.0 Conference in San Francisco

No, I did not travel. But I am attending.

How come? I have to thank Jeremiah Owyang for the experiment he put up. He is streaming live through his blog and on ustream.tv. On ustream site the Chat is enabled and all of us attending can interact with Jeremiah and the people he interviews on the halls and corridors. Something rather exciting and geeky in a whole new level.

Some really interesting stuff. Besides just a couple of sound drops every now and then, and some not so-good-sound on some conference rooms it all works quite well.

I have lurked for quite a while on the web strategy blog RSS, and was quite excited to attend this live cast. I will try to attend to futher conferences this way; it is much cheaper than traveling all the way from Argentina to San Francisco.
This all makes you think: what if for future conferences, product releases and the like, you’d grant your attendees free WiFi so they can broadcast, podcast, blog, chat and so on live? That would generate more on-line publicity than any amount of adwords you could buy.

Thanks for the ride, man!

PS: Did I mention Jeremiah was using a ThinkPad?
