Stowe Boyd on Kottke on gender diversity at conferences:
Gack. I am working with the CMP folks on Enterprise 2.0, and so far I have asked one person, a woman, if she could participate, and I was turned down.
Others have made the case that many of the most interesting woman for tech conference speaking roles have […]

James Governor on Adobe Engage, held yesterday and today in San Francisco:
I liked the short introduction from David Mendels, senior VP enterprise and developer solutions, when he talked about how the layout of the room is a little formal, based on a presenter and an audience, rather than being a roundtable of more participatory environment. […]

I really liked Martin LaMonica’s article about mashup camp on CNET. Now that’s some good reportage.
I’ll be cranking out yet one more article on mashups for GigaOM, but […]

My husband Rick is a pro traveler; I’m the amateur in the family.
I’m on my way to Mashup Camp 3 in Boston. I thought a lot about how to get to the airport before deciding on taking SuperShuttle. Our neighborhood streets are still mostly impassable unless you have an SUV, and I didn’t want to […]

I was involved in an email discussion recently with a few web 2.0 savvy women recently when the conversation turned to princesses. You do know, don’t you, that every time we women talk amongst ourselves, we always get around to shoes and princesses? I proposed that we hold a Princess 2.0 conference. What better way […]

Honestly, just because some people really like to watch sports on ESPN, does that mean they want ESPN cell phone service? Apparently not. So many companies make the mistake of thinking they should be at the center of our business and personal lives. News flash: I am at the center of my life; your company […]

I’ll be at the Adobe Max conference in Las Vegas tomorrow and Wednesday. I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can about what Adobe’s doing these days, especially in the area of Flash, Adobe’s interactive multimedia format and Flex, Adobe’s solution for developing rich internet applications (RIAs) based around Flash. Adobe has provided […]

The Office 2.0 conference attracted a monotonous crowd of entrepreneurs, big software vendors, VCs, and IT analysts focused on introducing web-enabled office apps into The Enterprise (a.k.a. organizations with fat wallets). Considering the consumer space is so peculiarly nonprofitable for anyone but Google, who can blame these technophiles for looking to Enteprise 2.0 in its […]

When I proposed podcast jam six weeks ago, I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. This project has overrun my life and my hard drive. I have podcasts everywhere.
Next week I’ll write up lessons learned after I dig myself out from under all the work that’s landed on my desk since the […]

Our three podcasts today really pumped me up. You could get an Education 2.0 by faithfully listening to each podcast in our jam (if I do say so myself). We started off with Geeky Mom Laura Blankenship covering the very real barriers to *2.0 adoption in higher education. Then future thinker Ken Camp told us […]
