Reading Scripting News’s pointers to Dan Gillmor and Dan Bricklin’s weblogs, I became convinced today of how Davos Newbies should work during Davos itself.
The home page should be a log of other interesting reflections on Davos (as I’m sure Dan Gillmor’s will be, for example). One of the items will be (perhaps I should be cautious and say, might be) a snippet of my posting, which will be a story to link to. I’ll try to provide something of the behind the scenes flavour of Davos (without betraying any confidences).
People like Dan and Dave Winer and many others will actually have the chance to absorb far more of what goes on in sessions than I will in Davos — I’ve got to run the thing! It’s kind of like giving a party: the host never gets to eat much of the food or spend much time talking with people because he or she is too busy helping everyone else.
OK, that’s your call, the site has your name on it.
We’ll keep this site running as-is thru the meeting, no change in Managing-Editor-at-the-wheel.
Still totally psyched, a little nervous, looking forward to a long plane trip and my new clothes.
(Still have to get an alarm clock.)
