The Week That Was

Insane. That's probably the best word I can use to describe this week. The second annual Web 2.0 conference has reached its close and while hanging out at the conference ... ... and "blogosphere and I just didn't have the wherewithal (or the time) to add my own two cents to the conversation. That said, I'm using this post to scratch an itch on all sorts of subjects and observations that shook out of this week -- some related to the conference, some not. I'll aim to share a little more substance on some of these when I can resurface from my Technorati/Edelman Blogger Survey - Phil takes an initial Yahoo RSS White Paper - This was presented last night at an after-hours party here in SF. It's a good read with some interesting stats, Pushing Forward the PR Meme - I need to grok this and share something more substantial later, but generally speaking I think the spirit of what Following On-Line Conversations is Hard Work! - When I first read this, my reaction was something like, "yeah, no shit." Jeremy captures a pain that cuts to the very core of present day social media monitoring and participation, especially for corporations. This is the very messy and very *real* part of Flock this week. The coverage, the buzz and the party was amazing. A few of us are toying with the idea of podcasting some Voce case studies in the near future, this will hopefully be one of them. Flock on guys...
