Had a great time last night at the BlogOn cocktails and then afterwards at the speaker's dinner. At the dinner Mike Geoghegan introduced me to Steve Gillmor and we had a terrific chat about AttentionXML (which I might even be beginning to understand) and Steve's current meme "links are dead". I tend to agree and have noticed that I have stopped putting links into posts much of the time lately, mostly because I figure that if people want to know more about someone or something I write about, they can Google it in seconds. I'll link to something if it's a little obscure or if it's something that might be a little hard to track down, but usually I can't be bothered. Anyway, read more about Steve's thoughts on links (and his arguments with Doc) at this link. :-)
And Steve's promised to come on G'DAY WORLD to talk about AttentionXML in the near future.
At dinner last night I sat with Geoghegan, Suw, Shel, and Randall from Chrysler. A good time was had by all. Especially when the waitress spilled beer on Mike and Suw. :-)
We got some great schwag too - copies of Seth Godin's latest book (The Big Moo), John Batelle's new book on Google (The Search) and Guy Kawasaki's book The Art Of The Start. Also the latest copies of WIRED and MAKE magazines.
Dave Weinberger is first up this morning and Suw has promised me an intro.
