By mesh news

That’s all for now. Man, am I tired.

Update: It looks like people are using this as a feedback spot – that’s great, keep it up. Also, on the wiki. We are working on getting have an email addy set up for feedback, too at feedback [at] meshconference.com or ping any of us.

Also, if you come across more stuff out there that you’d like to share, mesh06 is the tag of choice.

Update 2: I am on Inside the Net with Amber and Leo talking mesh. What a thrill. Leo suggests we go global 🙂

about last night

By mesh news

Heaps o’ fun at The Drake last night. We did a little thank you dinner thing for sponsors and presenters, which was a-hoot-and-a-half, and then joined the fun with a lot of other mesh-ers who were there, uh, mesh-ing.

Myself and my wife Anna (yes – that Anna, who was at registration) were joined for dinner by Barnaby Marshall, John Phillip Green, Steve Rubel, Michael Geist, George Schlukbier and George Irish. One of the highlights for me was talking with Steve, Michael and George S. who is working with the US Library of Congress on their “How do we save everything, forever?” project. Essentially, the objective is to figure out what you save, why and how. For instance, is this webpage worth saving? If so, why? And if yes, how, such that 100 years from now it can still be viewed?

All that with a nice glass of red in hand. Not a bad way to spend a rainy Monday night ;-

can blogs influence politics?

By mesh news

I did my Introduction of Tris Hussey of Blogging 101 (standing room only btw) and then booted it down to be in the politics panel. I’m here now. Andy Coyne gave the best insight thus far: he stops blogging for a while just ‘cuz. That explains *that* 🙂

Brad Davies gave a good overview of how Canadian political parties – well the Liberals, some of them, anyway – are starting to at least monitor and engage the blogosphere.

Paul Wells said – and I agree – that the whole blogs influencing politics thing is really early here. I wonder if or when that will change?
