I think I’ve met this ibiblian, jeff. He blogged my contribution at the bloggers conference:
John Bachir speaks: this is so great, the cameraman making a contribution to the conversation. Talk about participatory media. Gillmor makes the same observation: “that was very bloggish.”
If you are wondering, I proposed that it doesn’t matter if we can change commercial media, because the phenomenon of blogging is not more power but instead an entirely new information economy, where certain factors of current commercial media become irrelevant.
And if you are wondering, no one really addressed my point, alas.
(or maybe i didn’t notice. i missed a lot of the conference because i was focusing on camera work :-) )
(or maybe everyone was so blown away by the fact that the cameraman was speaking that they couldn’t pay attention to what i was saying. leave it to me to make the unintentional meta-contribution…)
Well, clearly I was so blown away by the fact that the cameraman was speaking that I didn’t pay attention to what you were saying, since what I wrote about it was entirely content-free! Thanks for repeating your point here though; it’s a good one. Please write more about this.
BTW, I’m not affiliated with ibiblio at all (except as a groupie, I suppose). I’m actually SILS faculty: ils.unc.edu/~jpom
