A few weeks ago, I was talking to Derrick Story about attending the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference and now I’m wishing that I had made the time to attend. Yes, I am behind on Movable Type consulting projects at Weblog Improvement and there are important things going on here at Operation Gadget, but there are so many interesting presentations taking place and so many interesting participants in the gadget world there in San Diego at the same time, I have to look at this as a missed opportunity.
Rather than dwell on the decision, I’m going to do my best to blog the conference from afar.
There are many ways to see what’s happening at ETech if you aren’t there. Here are some of the sites I’ve found useful:
- The ETech Conference Home Page is a great place to find new sources of information.
- Blogging ETech from Weblogs, Inc.
- Boing Boing [ recommended by Richard Giles ]
- Joho the Blog by David Weinberger [ recommended by Richard Giles ]
- The Etech Wiki. Wonder if I can add things to it from New Jersey….
- The ETech Photo Pool on Flickr.
- Coverage page inside the Etech Wiki.
- eTech Press Conference Notes from Sean Bonner
- Doc Searls is blogging while at eTech.
I’m going to add more useful links I find to this article as I find them.
