Mark Cuban: "This is the only industry in the world that can see thousands of its retailers close, reduce the number of products it sells via cutbacks in artist rosters and albums released, cut back marketing and promotional dollars and then blame a reduction in sales on someone or something other than themselves." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Rebecca MacKinnon and Mary Hodder sum up the Newbies and Core Values discussions. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Robert Cox, who has been to all three BC's says the social features of this one were superior. That's good, that was one of the goals. We want people to feel included, have lots of opportunities to meet others, and engage in smaller, ad hoc discussions. Glad it worked. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Jay Rosen on the People of Moore's Law. Renee Blodgett posts on the conference. An open thread for product announcements that are of special interest to BloggerConners. Technorati has a page of aggregated BloggerCon posts. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named nokia6800.jpgI got a new cellphone and service provider yesterday. The old one broke on the way down from Seattle, leaving me unreachable via cell. I've been meaning to get a new phone. Yesterday I took Adam on a trip to Mecca, and got a new one. I like it so far. It unfolds to become a QWERTY keyboard, has Bluetooth and a built-in radio. And a completely strange user interface. I had become quite accustomed to the old one. As always, building new neural pathways makes me feel smarter, even though I'm staying at a Hyatt, not a Holiday Inn ExpressPermanent link to this item in the archive.

Estimate of BloggerCon attendance: 300. Here's how I arrived at that number. The capacity of the rooms, in total, was 330. At most times the rooms appeared to be 90 percent full, give or take. 330 * 0.90 = 297. That sounds like we counted, but we didn't. Round up to 300.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
