Aussie Blogging Conference… again

by | Dec 6, 2005 | Uncategorized

Duncan Riley is begging and pleading for SOMEONE to pull together an Australian blogging conference.
I’ve spoken to a few people in the past (indeed over the past 2 years) about this, and even some who are planning an Australian business blogging conference, but I’m getting old waiting for a full blown Australian blogging conference so here is my pitch:Its time we all got together and organised an Australian blogging conference.

The trick, Dunc, is figuring out who the target demographic of the conference is. Bloggers? People who want to learn about blogging? All of the above? Des wants to get corporate execs. I personally would love to pull together those of us trying to bootstrap new media businesses. And who are you going to get to keynote? Any big names to draw the crowds? Do we HAVE any big names in this country? Or would we need to fly them in from the US ala lesblogs? Who would we get and how? I’ve chatted to a few people about coming out, including Scoble, Buzz, etc. All are keen but its a long frakkin way.

G’Day World “On The Pod” #61 – Doc Searls

He’s da man who said “Markets Are Conversations”. And I get to talk to him. How was YOUR day? 🙂

Doc recently wrote an article called “Saving the Net: How to Keep the Carriers from Flushing the Net Down the Tubes” which has got many of us wondering, perhaps for the first time, whether or not the innanet, as we know it, has a future.

It scared the hell outta me, so I asked him to come and have a chat. The last time I spoke with Doc was almost a year ago and it’s always great to chat to him.

This was the picture we posted up last time of Mick and I bowing down before The Cluetrain Manifesto.

The Lifekludger mashes me up

David Wallace aka The Lifekudger is a blogger and podcaster in Adelaide who has mashed me up. I think that’s the first time I’ve been mashed. Thanks David! Maybe I’ll get Ben Folds (is he still living in Adelaide?) to produce my first album a la Shatner.
