Among the many great things about blogging and social media is that ability to attend a conference like We Media in Miami, leave and then read what everyone else had to say about it. There's no need to bring a camera because those blessed with photography skills are sharing their photos on flickr - and you can actually get photos of yourself at the conference which is all I really want anyway.
Here are my posts from the conference:
Day One
Day Two
Day Three
...and pictures of me taken by other people.
MBA members in attendence were J.D. Lasica, Mark Glaser, Jay Rosen, Rory O'Connor, Mike Orren, and Tish Grier and Josh Hallett (members-in-waiting). Plus, Chris Nolan (disaffected member), It was great to see folks like Merrill Brown of the News 21 Project, Jim Brady of WashingtonPost.com, John Bracken of the MacArthur Foundation, Andy Carvin of NPR, Fabrice Florin of NewsTrust, Shel Israel of the formerly Naked Conversations, Steve Johnson of the AP, Gary Kebbel of the Knight Foundation, Bill Mitchell of the Poynter Institute, Alan Rosenblatt of the Internet Advocacy Center, Jan Schaffer of the J-Lab, Michael Tippett of NowPublic, Chuck DeFeo of TownHall. It was also nice to meet some new folks like Alex de Carvalho of Scrapblog, Jemima Kiss of Guardian Unlimited, Robin Miller of Slashdot, Craig Newmark of birdwatching fame, Scott Rafer now of MyBlogLog, Lisa Stone of BlogHer, Diane Hockenberry of the Newspaper Association of America, Joseph Loong of AOL Communities, Angela Pacienza of the Canadian Press, JoAnne Woolley of Internews Network, Steven Rosenbaum of magnify.net, Robert Hosman the Vice Dean of the University of Miami School of Communications, Michael Scgreibman of Children's Pressline, Ruiyan Xu of POV, Derek Chezzi of Yahoo!
