I'm not nearly as good as some of the great conference bloggers out there - David Weinberger, Jeff Jarvis - who manage to turn out near-transcripts of conferences. But I find it personally useful to take notes at conferences, and hope that notes could be useful in bringing a larger audience to some of the great talks we're hearing here...

Since reading your blog, I get the power of it. I sat there today watching all of those people on laptops doing various tasks during the presentation. Some doing email, some searching each speaker's credentials as they spoke, some taking laborious notes-does anyone really look at those later? I also wonder if laborious note-taking impedes one's listening? I heard so much buzz about "Ethan blogging through the whole thing." From what I see, Ethan was listening intently, taking notes that may actually be referenced (I did) and clearing your brain of all the things I was thinking, but that were still cluttering whatever gray matter I have left up there. So much blogging is still puffy chested braggery about nothing--and can be--quite honestly--boring. This is good. Keep typing. Fascinating. I like your stuff. I like your style. Rock star? Perhaps. I give it you more credit than that. Thanks for sharing the inside of your brain. Ethan:
