David Weinberger is talking now about creating new inappropriate old-boys networks. Is this one of those? It's the usual headline performers here ... Kevin Marks, Mary Hodder, David Weinberger. Obviously, they need to put these folks and others (some of whom turned out to be no shows) on to attract people. But, one has the impression of watching a group of old friends carry on.

Here's what would really blast off participation here. Have people monitor the blog posts and synthesize off of those. That's almost here with François Gossieaux's addition of live feeds (But ones that would auto-update vs. requiring you to fully refresh the web page). Probably, there needs to be build up before the conference to get this to work and maybe after. That would make the conference live on beyond the temporal conjuncture of just this day and allow more people to be heard.
