if i only knew...

Quick notes from BlogTalk

My offtopic observations from BlogTalk 2.0, the weblog conference in Vienna:

Put a bunch of bloggers in a room with power outlets and wifi access, and voila, no matter how interesting the talk, they will be instantly multitasking: IM'ing, blogging, working, emailing, and doing whoknowswhatelse.

I was sitting in the fourth row of seats. In the three rows in front of me, each about 12 seats wide, i counted 28 laptops. Many macs, although i think PCs were still the majority.

Give the conference an international angle, invite speakers from different countries and voila, the audience will get to taste the many local versions of Windows. (I saw two speakers, one had Norwegian, the other Spanish Windows.)

And... because everybody's blogging it, there is plenty of material online already to read for those not able to attend. And collaborative notes from the sessions (Wiki). And photos.
