Interesting take on the BloggerCon conference just finished in Palo Alto. In most technology conferences, the sponsors of the conference - usually a technology company - assume they have dibs at a speaking slot, typically a keynote. But Dave Winer, the host of BloggerCon, stipulated that the conference is not to be used to sell wares. This, according to the author, typifies the difference between blogging and other technologies - in blogging, the consumers are the producers, and hence, a blogging conference is as much a producers' conference as a consumers conference, and in an important sense, not even a technology conference at all.
